As a conservation charity which gives grants War Memorials Trust can support repair and conservation works that follow best conservation practice. Grants are awarded from funds raised by the charity so money available is limited and is therefore focused on eligible war memorials.
War Memorials Trust’s Definition of a war memorial for funding purposes helpsheet explains which war memorials are eligible and ineligible for funding.
As a charity, War Memorials Trust relies on voluntary donations and every contribution, no matter how large or small, makes a really big difference to our work. Your donation will help protect and conserve war memorials for future generations so please support War Memorials Trust’s work.
If I should die, think only this of me:/ That there is some corner of a foreign field/ That is for ever England. There shall be/ In that rich earth a richer dust concealed;/ A dust whom England bore, shaped, made aware,/ Gave, once, her flowers to love, her ways to roam;/ A body of England's, breathing English air,/ Washed by the rivers, blest by suns of home./ And think, this heart, all evil shed away,/ A pulse in the eternal mind, no less/ Gives somewhere back the thoughts by England given;/ Her sights and sounds; dreams happy as her day;/ And laughter, learnt of friends; and gentleness,/ In hearts at peace, under an English heaven./ This corner of a foreign field was inspired by the/ above poem, using grass seed from Flanders and/ edged with the Northlew Poppy./ When you look upon this green grass, tell your/ children what honour there is in peace.
