War memorials are a familiar sight across
the UK. From the Highlands of Scotland to the foot of Cornwall memorials will be seen. Even the smallest village
will have one.
Below are some of the ones that we have seen or visited across the UK
| Trefriw War Memorial, Gwynedd, North Wales |

| The Dambusters memorial, Derwent, Derbyshire |

The Derwent Dams were used during the Second World War to perfect
the ‘bouncing bombs’ technique which in 1943, breached the Ruhr Valley Dams, in the heartland of industrial Germany.
A plaque and memorial museum in the west tower of Derwent Dam retells the story of the Dambusters. The museum is open most
Sundays and Bank Holidays throughout the year.
