|

I was musing about Dumfries memorial as I am due to give a talk soon and the venue is only 50 yards away.
This memorial commemorates deaths in 6 wars:
WW1
WW2
Korea
Malaya
South Vietnam
Afghanistan
Does anyone know of another town or village memorial with more than that?
It could be done, Gulf War, Falklands, Northern Ireland etc even though I believe the South Vietnam entry to be unique in Scotland.

I'd be very surprised to see a memorial with as many if not more than six wars. I didn't realise Dumfries had an Afghanistan name.
Kind regards
