I passed one the other day in Clumber Park, near a village called Hardwick, there is a memorial with quite a lot of names on it, as the village in total appears to only be 8-10 houses it struck me as a lot of names, I will stop & take a moment the next time I pass

Not a war memorial as such, a memorial to two airmen built and paid for by residents of the nearby town, a fantastic gesture imho

Cycled past this today in the Vosges Mountains, tiny little road above Anould.

Memorial to the crew of a crashed B17. I don’t know how often it is visited but simple and very moving. Someone’s son, brother, father never came home.

Next to it was the remains of a motor from a P51 Mustang which apparently crashed on the same mission.
