Description
War memorials are a feature of Britain's landscape, and part of the fabric of its history as a nation. The Imperial War Museum's National Inventory has sixty thousand war memorials spanning two millennia. This work presents examples that are intended as a tribute to the victims of war and as tangible reminders of significant events.
