Interesting question. Menlove-Edwards wouldn’t have ‘named’ it glibly. A cenotaph is a memorial to persons whose remains are elsewhere, so particularly appropriate to war dead.
I don’t have Perrin’s book, which i think is pretty definitive, maybe it’s not covered in there anyway.
Maybe it’s just because it’s a clean cut right angled corner?
