Memorials for Memorial Day USA

From time to time my wife and I visit places in the US and overseas where Americans gave their lives. These are awesome moments as row after row of markers represent American lives and their families who paid such a price for freedom. Here are a few memorials honoring Americans.

Royal Air Force Museum London England UK

The Royal Air Force Museum is open daily. It is located at Grahame Park Way in NW London. I took the underground to the Colindale station, which is on the Edgeware branch of the Northern Line.

In addition to a variety of aircraft, the museum illustrates the history of British Flight and the people that made it possible.

Avro Lancaster

Belvedere

There's also a memorial to the Americans who served from 1942-1945.







Travel Notes

I grabbed a sandwich and drink from a nearby shop and ate in the museum's lunch area.

When I visited in 2018, admission was free. Check their website for more information.

Monitor HMS 33 Gallipoli and WW I

HMS 33 by Geoff W. Sutton 2017

HMS 33 is the only British war ship from the 1915 Gallipoli Campaign. As you enter the ship at the Historic Dockyard, you experience a sight and sound experience of war--including the perspectives of those on board.


Following the audio-visual presentation, there's opportunity to inspect the insides and topside, which includes some re-creations of shiplife.

The ship is a small, spartan war machine- home to 72 crew for more than three years.

The tour is worth including in a visit to the Historic Dockyards in Portsmouth.
