The two monoliths before you stand as a solemn reminder of the sacrifices made in recent conflicts. This is the Iraq & Afghanistan Memorial, unveiled in 2017 by Queen Elizabeth II. The Iraq & Afghanistan Memorial doesn’t depict scenes of battle or heroism. Instead, it focuses on the core values that bind those who serve: duty and service. The memorial is made of two large Portland stone blocks, one inscribed with “Iraq” and the other “Afghanistan”.
