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".

Burwash is an historic village near the River Rother. The high street is a designated conservation area, such are the importance of the buildings. The area was once known for smugglers and highwaymen. In fact, the graves of smugglers can be found at St Bartholomew's Church. Burwash was Rudyard Kipling's local village when he lived at nearby Bateman's. The name of his son, John, who died in the First World War, is listed on the war memorial.

This pleasant stretch of the path runs between the train tracks and the Darwell Stream. Next to it, there is a small pond formed between the Darwell Stream and the Glottenham Stream.
