<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 2172176, member: 39&quot;]Last year, by the way, I was in Northern France and visited the <a href="http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anneau_de_la_Mémoire" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anneau_de_la_Mémoire" rel="nofollow">Anneau de la Mémoire</a> (Ring of Memory), a new memorial site dedicated to soldiers killed, in WW1, in the Nord/Pas de Calais region. It is a huge ring of walls that list the names of about 580,000 soldiers, sorted alphabetically no matter what rank or passport they had. Could not imagine anything like that in any Anglo-Saxon country. But I don&#039;t think such a memorial would be appropriate for WW2. Ah well, here in the euro area we do have a series about &quot;70 Years of Peace&quot; (in the European Union Member States) this year ...</p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
