But especially on the WW1 memorials there are a lot of people of all colours and creeds just remembered as names on an enormous list of the dead.
Everyone who died, whatever side they died on, deserves remembrance
Fair enough. It just looks like everyone wants to jump on the race bandwagon these days: the CofE, Kew Gardens, Statues, etc etc ad infinitum.
