I couldn’t agree more. [The French are very good at it]. I’ve spent ages traipsing around small hamlets and villages looking for those that come up on your posts regarding Gloucester Hussars, as we like to check they are being properly cared for.

Excellent idea.

One would have thought that even ignoring the symbolic nature of these monuments, they are excellent and easily recognisable landmarks. Ideal for any cartographer.

Over here in the states, they make a big deal of some big memorials in big cities, but many other memorials, on service members whom were just as heroic and important, these memorials seem to be forgottem and not cared for as well.
