I am always impressed by memorials for World War 2. Share them with each other.
This is a memorial for the crew of a Lancaster bomber plane that crashed near the village of Hank (Biesbosch) in 1944. The memorial has been designed by the artist Martin Copier from Werkendam.

You know, this topic has made me realize that I don't even know where WW II memorials are in my city (Boston, Massachusetts, although I live in a suburb where we have one war memorial for all the wars in the town center) So if we don't have terrible weather this weekend I think I'll take a day and find out, and maybe take some pictures too. My parents, (deceased) both were in the US armed forces during WWII. This picture was taken in England around the time they got engaged to be married.
