A pretty easy one for you: The name of the only British Soldier of The Great War to have the phrase 'shot at dawn' inscribed on his gravestone?
Family holiday in May 2009. Whose statue are we stood by, where is it and why is it there? Hotel de Ville, Brienne-le Chateau, where a very young Napoleon (the statue) did his first military training at the Military School.
Who's memorial was paid for by a subscription, originally started by the RA, Woolwich, on the day they heard the subject had died and it's said every soldier in the British Army had to contribute a day's pay to the fund (whether that last bit is true, false, compulsory or they voted for it - I'm not sure!)
Admiral Horatio Nelson? Misread the question. did not read the "army" reference Yep, misread - but both are columnar
Correct, Jonathan, your turn again. I believe it once had no name and was sometimes mistaken for Wellington. There is another statue in the former United Service Club, which should still be there as the new owners agreed to preserve such items.
Who was the U-Boat Commander who was shot by The Home Guard? Oooops he was not the Commander, but second in command, the Ist Lt.
Over to you.. Sorry about the slight memory glitch. I realized when I looked for his burial. Originally he was buried at Ambleside.
