Various Memorials from around the UK

For more information on war memorials in the UK contact The UK National Inventory of War Memorials  http://www.ukniwm.org.uk

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

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.
