Most people who pass by such a war memorial commemorating the victims will not have experienced the horrors of war firsthand. A dialogue invented by the writer Paul Harding might help. It is from a medieval detective novel, and the following exchange takes place: "Tell me, brother, when you went to war in France with your little brother, were you happy?" Athelstan felt his heart leap. "Of course." He smiled thinly. "I was young then. My blood was boiling, and I longed for great adventures." "And when you found your brother dead and cold as ice on the battlefield and returned to England... what was there?" Athelstan looked out into the courtyard; it was slowly getting dark. "In the Gospel, Sir John, Christ says that at the end of the world, the heavens will shake, and the planets will fall to earth in blazing fire." Athelstan closed his eyes. He felt Francis's spirit quite clearly. “When I found my brother dead in the field,” he continued, “it was as if heaven had fallen to earth for me.” (Source: “The House of the Red Butcher” by Paul Harding)

Very pretty seaside town, never as busy as the the others along the Kent Coast, and a nice cycle route along the sea front.

As a memorial to the many dead, such monuments - usually called "war memorials" in English - are still very important today. "Now, Lord, you let your servant depart in peace, as you have said..." says the so-called "Hymn of Simeon" (Luke 2, verse 29). However, the people who are remembered here did not depart in peace, but became victims of war and tyranny. Therefore, instead of the previously most common "war memorial", the term "fallen memorial" is now sometimes used in German to emphasize the aspect of remembering the victims. In addition, each of these countless memorials has a timeless, permanently valid message: to remind our current and all future generations - again and again - to keep the peace.

Deal is a charming coastal town known for its beautiful pebble beach and historic buildings. Deal's coastline is a beautiful place to visit, with its long promenade stretching from Sandown Castle in the north to Walmer Castle in the south.

Deal became a 'limb port' of the Cinque Ports in 1278 and grew into the busiest port in England; today it is a seaside resort, its quaint streets and houses a reminder of its history along with many ancient buildings and monuments. In 1968, Middle Street was the first conservation area in Kent.
