By Jim Corke

War memorials are a feature of Britain's landscape, often taken for granted, 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. They include works of art and the artless, the sacred and the secular, vernacular and abstract forms, all redolent with symbolism ancient and modern.

Hidden history

Nearly every village or town has a war memorial Some quite small, they are a part of the fabric of our lives. We should never over look them or forget what they represent.
