'They are so familiar we take them for granted, but a new book reveals the full glory of our Great War memorials'

Interesting story and I bet a nice book.

Unfortunately for the British Soldier, British “Leadership” has always left a great deal to be memorialized...

Thanks for posting this. I love these old memorials. Australia has many wonderful ones too. Very similar to those in the UK, often.

Here in Mesa, Arizona, there is a corner of the city cemetery that is forever England. Tomorrow I will be attending a memorial service for the RAF cadets who were killed in flight training during WW2 and lie there in eternal rest. My dad, who survived his training there as well as the fighter combat in Europe that followed, will be making perhaps his last trip to this service.
