I think that this memorial is long overdue, but have a question that may seem incredibly simple - What is the criteria for inclusion? This may clarify what this memorial is for, ie for those members of the Services who have died whilst serving, or those who have died because they were serving.
Without detracting from anyone's service, I'll give an example. A friend is included on the memorial, but he died undertaking a sporting activity as a result of his level of experience and the situation he put himself in. Without diminishing his passing, does it compare with those who have died in training for operations, or on operations?
