That's quite a nice memorial.
A small town and a quiet place to remember.

I like it. Memorials showing soldiers are in the minority. Most are crosses and crucifixes.

I've just posted a pic of Bridgenorth's memorial (a soldier as it happens).

I think I may suggest to Roy that we re-watch a bit of The Duchess of Duke Street tonight -- the part where she goes to Yorkshire for the unveiling of the memorial in Charlie Haslemere's small town.

We watched it. I find this quatrain almost unbearably moving:

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning,
We will remember them.
