"Mi Amigo" Memorial

War memorial

👍👍 Very moving memorial to the airmen that lost their lives in the Mi Amigo tragedy. The memorial is worth a visit as is knowing more about this forgotten story of WW2. I wonder how many Sheffield people owe their lives to these brave US servicemen?

Royal Tank Regiment Memorial

Sculpture

👍👍 Fantastic memorial. Only walked past this by chance and it is a very well crafted sculpture. My Dad (deceased) signed up with the 9th Royal Lancers during the last part of WWII and they were a tank regiment. He told me lots of stories about being out in the North African desert. So I have a great de...

Liverpool Cenotaph

Memorial

👍 I don't know how does one actually rate this, as it's a memorial to those who had fallen in the WWI and WWII. Seems maintained and there was no litter around it. Does not really spark much attention (you could easily miss it) I would say, since people mostly just pass it or park their cars around it...

Southampton Cenotaph

Memorial

👍👍 ….At the going down of the Sun and, in the morning, we SHALL remember them. Please be respectful of this place and review it for what it stands for. They gave their lives so we could have ours. Posting derogatory comments about the surroundings is not helpful and vitriolic.

New Zealand War Memorial

War memorial

👍👍 A modern war memorial which stands in strong contrast with the more traditional memorials in the nearby area. Numerous black metal crosses emerge from the earth. At eye level, the crosses remind me of metal 'hedgehogs' used in defensive warfare. As you walk among them - and you really do walk among...

Edith Cavell Memorial

War memorial

👍👍 A prominent position for this heroine of of WW1,Edith Cavell was a nurse who found herself stranded behind enemy lines in Belgium. She nursed all servicemen, regardless of which uniform they wore, but was involved with the escape of 200 allied soldiers, and for this she was shot by the Germans Her b...

Pic Tor War Memorial

War memorial

👍👍 Stunning war memorial with amazing scenery. Really serene and peaceful area and absolutely worthwhile of the walk up. The effort the construction must've taken is definitely worth it. Graveyard in the nearby church on the way down if you choose the less walked path is also worthy of a respectful wa...
