Shot at dawn memorial. #98515759
Description
Memorial to all the soldiers shot at dawn during the the great war for perceived desertion or cowardice at the time. This is one of the most poignant memorials at the National memorial arboretum in Staffordshire Uk. Each man shot has received a full pardon as it is now recognized that most who were executed were suffering from trauma and stress from the horrific events of the first world war.
