セールハーストアンドロバーツブリッジのおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

This casemate is of type FW3/28A. During World War II, these bunkers were used for the defense of the United Kingdom against a possible enemy invasion. They were built in 1940 and into 1941.

The stained glass windows are lovely on a sunny day

lovely pub

The vintage railway is an experience for children of all ages.

The pub is busy, but I wandered past. The church and church yard in Salehurst are worth a visit.

The brick-built bridge is very picturesque.

Although their foundation often dates back more than a century – many were erected after the First World War (1914 to 1918) – they are by no means mere relics of a bygone era. The message of the almost ubiquitous "War Memorials," which continue to commemorate the victims of war and tyranny in villages and towns, remains relevant today. Despite certain similar basic patterns, the design of the memorials varies from place to place. But what they all have in common is the urgent appeal to remind us – each generation anew – of the necessity of preserving peace.

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's Gospel, Chapter 2, Verse 29). However, the people who are remembered here did not depart in peace, but became victims of war and tyranny. Therefore, the term "fallen memorial" is now sometimes used in German instead of the previously more common "war memorial".
