What better way to contemplate life, death and why people have to die in wars than when looking at a wonderful, inspiring view from the top of a tower. A fitting memorial to all those who have served.

Rapunzel Diaries 9: Mercian Regimental War Memorial
This is a tower devoted to those fallen in battle. The Sherwood Foresters were originally soldiers recruited from the counties of Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire. In 1970 men from the Worcestershire Regiment joined the Foresters. And this merry and proud band of men have a tower as a memorial to their comrades fallen in battle. Sadly there are recent deaths recorded on the memorial wall from Afghanistan.
