Armed Forces Memorial, War memorial at National Memorial Arboretum in Staffordshire, England
The Armed Forces Memorial features two bronze sculptures within a 43-meter diameter stone structure built upon a six-meter earth mound at the arboretum center.
Queen Elizabeth II dedicated this memorial on October 12, 2007, honoring over 16,000 service members who died in duty since World War II ended.
The memorial holds inscribed names of fallen military personnel from various operations, including conflicts in Palestine, Korea, Northern Ireland, and Afghanistan.
Visitors can utilize the Roll of Honor database to locate specific names among thousands carved chronologically on Portland stone panels within the memorial.
On November 11th at 11 AM, sunlight passes through a gap in the southern wall to illuminate a bronze wreath at the memorial center.
