8 – The War Memorial

This memorial is a smaller version of the famous Cenotaph in London. It lists 73 men who were killed during or after World War One and 36 who died during or after World War Two. The first man died in September 1914 during the Battle of Mons, the third one to die went down with his ship in a sea battle off the coast of Chile and the last to die was shot by a sniper in 1948 in Palestine. They all had their stories.
