The Armed Forces Memorial. |

The picture that heads each
page is of the central feature of the site, The Armed Forces Memorial. It is
a reproduction of a Post Card available for sale at the entrance to the site.
Though many photos are available, the sheer impact of the Memorial can really
only be gauged on a personal visit. A one word description is Stunning. |

This view of the A.F.M. is taken from the direction of the R.E.M.E. Memorial.
The saplings are newly planted and will take many years to mature. Some
Memorials have been established on the new ground and can be seen midway. |

sculptures placed within the walls of the A.F.M. |

I have left the visitors
alongside the second group to give some indication of the size of the
sculptures. |
