Veterans of the Civil War gather on Memorial Day 1916 in Bridgeport, Connecticut.
Well into the 20th century, members of the Elias Howe Jr. local veterans chapter of the Grand Army of the Republic wuold meet to share their memories of the Civil War and make sure that the sacrifices of the soldiers killed in the war were not forgotten.
The local Grand Army of the Republic post was formed by greater Bridgeport area veterans on April 15, 1867. It was named after Elias Howe, Jr., the first Bridgeport resident who signed up for duty in the U.S. Army in Bridgeport. Elias Howe Jr. was best known as the sewing machine industrialist. At the time of signing, he was in his late 40's. He enlisted as a private, however he never served in combat. Instead Elias Howe contributed money to the Union war effort.
The GAR post had 1,360 members soon after it was formed. By 1937, there were only seven Civil War veterans left in the area, and the seven men rode in an automobile down the parade route. In 1937, the oldest Civil War veteran in the Elias Howe, Jr. Post was 95 years old. The youngest of the seven living men was 88.

After the attack on the Government building, the killed embedded agent was found to be a member of a neighboring country’s special intelligence division, and although these two nations used share a strong alliance, they were now at odds, as the neighboring country was proven to be supporting the current uprising within the nation, presumably to help facilitate a puppet government to take power in order to strengthen their grip on the east. Because of this political tension, the two nations were preparing for war. shutting their borders and mobilizing artillery units- whose sights were aimed at the one country that they considered an ally. Things were different now, and getting worse.
Imperial War Museum Duxford (commonly referred to simply as "Duxford") is a branch of the Imperial War Museum near the village of Duxford in Cambridgeshire, England. Britain's largest aviation museum, Duxford houses the museum's large exhibits, including nearly 200 aircraft, military vehicles, artillery and minor naval vessels in seven main exhibitions buildings. The site also provides storage space for the museum's other collections of material such as film, photographs, documents, books and artefacts. The site accommodates a number of British Army regimental museums, including those of the Parachute Regiment (named Airborne Assault) and the Royal Anglian Regiment.
Based on the historic Duxford Aerodrome, the site was originally operated by the Royal Air Force (RAF) during the First World War. During the Second World War Duxford played a prominent role during the Battle of Britain and was later used by United States Army Air Forces fighter units in support of the daylight bombing of Germany. Duxford remained an active RAF airfield until 1961. After the Ministry of Defence declared the site surplus to requirements in 1969 the Imperial War Museum received permission to use part of the site for storage. The entirety of the site was transferred to the museum in February 1976.
In keeping with the site's history many of Duxford's original buildings, such as hangars used during the Battle of Britain, are still in use. Many of these buildings are of particular architectural or historic significance and over thirty have listed building status, Duxford "retain[ing] the best-preserved technical fabric remaining from [a historic airfield] up to November 1918" and being "remarkably well-preserved". The site also features a number of purpose-built exhibition buildings, such as the Stirling Prize-winning American Air Museum, designed by Sir Norman Foster. The site remains an active airfield and is used by a number of civilian flying companies, and hosts regular air shows.

Bergen op Zoom, the city where I was born and still live, was liberated by mostly Canadian allied soldiers. Located north of the Scheldt River near the Belgian border, Bergen op Zoom contains 968 Canadian graves, including 64 from the RCAF.
Most of the soldiers buried here lost their lives in the fighting north of Antwerp during the Battle of the Scheldt, as the 2nd Canadian Infantry Division, with support from the 4th Canadian Armoured Division, worked to clear the right (north) bank of the Scheldt estuary of German forces.
Nowadays we have the privilidge to live in freedom but it's very important that we never forget those who gave their lives for our freedom. That's why, on one of my many bikerides in the area, I decided to make a stop at the war cemeterie. The weather at the time made in my opinion for a perfect setting.
I hope you enjoyed this series and, more important, take a moment to commemorate those who gave their lives for our freedom.
The Cambridge War Memorial is situated near the Station Road entrance to the Cambridge University Botanic Garden. The 7 foot high bronze statue of a soldier wearing the uniform of the Cambridgeshire Regiment was sculptured by the Canadian Robert Tait McKenzie. It is modelled on Kenneth Hamilton, who was an undergraduate at Christ's College. The returning soldier glances back in the direction of the Station as he strides victorious towards the town. The laurel wreath on his rifle surrounds a captured German helmet.
The memorial was unveiled on 3 July 1922 by the Duke of York (later King George VI). The bronze was not finished in time for the official ceremony, so a plaster cast was substituted and the bronze itself was dedicated at a separate ceremony on 3 July 1923.
The Kranji War Cemetery (Malay: Tanah Perkuburan Perang Kranji) is located in Kranji, Singapore, and is the final resting place for Allied soldiers who perished during the Battle of Singapore and the subsequent Japanese occupation of the island from 1942–1945 and in other parts of Southeast Asia during World War II.
The Kranji area was previously a military camp. At the time of the Japanese invasion of Malaya, the area was in use as an ammunition magazine. After the fall of Singapore, the Japanese established a prisoner-of-war camp at Kranji and a hospital nearby at Woodlands. After the war, In 1946, it was decided that Kranji would be designated as Singapore's War Cemetery so the small cemetery at Kranji was developed into a permanent war cemetery and subsequently war graves from Buona Vista, Changi, and other cemeteries were removed and re-interred at Kranji.
There are 4,461 World War II casualties buried or commemorated at this cemetery, of which more than 850 of these are unidentified. There are 64 World War I headstones, of which three commemorate casualties known to have been buried elsewhere but whose graves could not be found on concentration.
Colin St Clair Oakes designed the Singapore Memorial and the War Cemetery, and the memorial was unveiled on 2 March 1957 by Sir Robert Black, who was a former a prisoner of war of the Japanese and at the time of the unveiling was then the Governor and Commander-in-Chief, Singapore.
Kranji provides a peaceful and serene resting place for those who have given their lives for their country and the nationalities honored reflect the rich heritage of Singapore. The site is a poignant reminder of the price of freedom.

The Korean War Veterans Memorial was authorized by Public Law 99-572 on Oct. 28, 1986 "…to honor members of the United States Armed Forces who served in the Korean War, particularly those who were killed in action, are still missing inaction, or were held as prisoners of war." The law established an advisory board of 12 veterans appointed by the president to coordinate all aspects of the memorial’s construction. The site is located adjacent to the Lincoln Memorial directly across the reflecting pool from the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C. The American Battle Monuments Commission managed the project and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers provided assistance. The architect of record is Cooper Lecky Architects. President Bill Clinton and South Korean President Kim Young Sam dedicated the memorial on July 27, 1995. Since the dedication several modifications have been incorporated: a kiosk to provide shelter for National Park Service personnel and a computer system with data housing the "Honor Role," which was accessible to the public. Correcting accessibility issues and replacement of the lighting in the statuary and along the mural wall with a state-of-the-art fiber optic system were required. Reconstruction of the pool and tree grove by the National Park Service and Corps of Engineers to improve tree maintenance and operate the reflecting pool was completed in July 1999. The overall cost There are 19 statues sculpted by Frank Gaylord of Barre, Vt., and cast by Tallix Foundries of Beacon, N.Y. They are approximately 7’3" tall, heroic scale and consist of 14 Army, 3 Marines, 1 Navy, 1 Air Force. They represent an ethnic cross section of America with 12 Caucasian, 3 African American, 2 Hispanic, 1 Oriental, 1 Indian (Native American).Three of the statues are in the woods, so if you are at the flagpole looking through the troops, you can't tell how many there are, and could be legions emerging from the woods. The statues are made of stainless steel, a reflective material that when seen in bright sunlight causes the figures to come to life. The blowing ponchos give motion to the column, so you can feel them walking up the hill with the cold winter wind at their backs, talking to one another. At nighttime the fronts of the statues are illuminated with a special white light; the finer details of the sculpture are clearly seen and the ghosts appear.
The juniper bushes are meant to be symbolic of the rough terrain encountered in Korea, and the granite stripes of the obstacles overcome in war. The Marines in column have the helmet chin straps fastened and helmet covers. Three of the Army statues are wearing paratrooper boots and all equipment is authentic from the Korean War era (when the war started most of the equipment was WWII issue). for the design and construction of the memorial and kiosk was $16.5 million.
Thoughtless Wars.

The Imperial War Museum North in Manchester (round the corner from Man United football ground) is an interesting building. The outside structure is made from "shards" of a fragmented globe, so no part of the structure is entirely square.
(architect, Daniel Libeskind)
In this picture the only 'normal' structure is the vertical lamp standard. And life today retains its colour, perhaps because - or inspite of - wars fought in the past.

Few English villages can be without a war memorial, but Port Sunlight's is unique. As early as 1916 Lever commissioned Goscombe John to design a war memorial, which was completed and unveiled in 1921 by two of his employees chosen by ballot. It consists of a granite runic cross with bronze statues and reliefs on the low surrounding walls. It has the theme "Defence of the Realm". On the memorial are the names of all of the company's employees who died as a result of both World Wars.
Seen above is one of the four reliefs, featuring an officer and two men manning a Vickers machine-gun clearly being used in an anti-aircraft role. It is interesting that one of the men is wearing a cap rather than the tin hats on the other two!
Note the defence theme, with a house on the far left, and houses and church on the right where a distant (and presumably enemy) biplane is clearly flying over them. I wonder how many other war memorials have any depiction of the enemy on them...
The memorial was designated as a Grade II listed building on 20 December 1965 and this was raised to Grade I on 28 October 2014. Grade I is the highest of the three grades of listing and is applied to "buildings of exceptional interest, sometimes considered to be internationally important".
When the models for the memorial were shown at the Royal Academy exhibitions, it was their realism that most impressed the critics. But it was not to everyone's liking. Some thought that they were too real in appearance for their intended surroundings, the garden village of Port Sunlight. Nevertheless, the architectural historian Nikolaus Pevsner considered that it is a memorial that is "genuinely moving and which avoids sentimentality".

The names appear to have been listed randomly, not in alphabetical order, not by the date of death, not by rank. It seems a fitting way to honour these men, most of whom were ordinary chaps who wouldn't have thought of joining the army in peace time. One died as a prisoner of war in Germany.
