Memorials and such Empty
PostSubject: Memorials and such   Memorials and such EmptySat 02 Feb 2019, 16:36

The Daily Mail's 'Get the people involved' shout of the day (sigh) is for a Normandy Battle  Memorial of names for the fallen - it also mentioned in a smaller font-point of another also to list the thousands of French civilians especially at Caen to be erected. 
From time to time statues go up - or indeed come down as political appreciation ebbs and flows.
 The statue of Mrs Thatcher, it was reported last week, would have a security feature - well yes - umm, very likely it would be as a magnet to those timid masked vandals who use paint for their freedom of expressive opinion.

It seems there is  human need to keep memory alive and probably it goes back to very ancient times - here I am suggesting that cave art reflects that. Where is ferv when we need her? 

What are Res Hist thoughts on this?
