NMA and Lichfield

 

The National Memorial Arboretum is a British site of national remembrance at Alrewas, near Lichfield, Staffordshire. 

At the heart of the Arboretum is the Armed Forces Memorial, which is a tribute to over 16,000 service personnel who have lost their lives in conflict or as a result of terrorism since the end of the Second World War. At 11 am on 11 November each year the sun shines through two slits in the outer and inner walls of the memorial, casting a shaft of light across a wreath in the centre. Other areas of the site include an RAF 'wing', Naval review and Army parade.

 

Afternoon: Staffordshire Regiment Museum

 

The Staffordshire Regiment Museum invites you to delve into the rich history of soldiers from the county of Staffordshire, featuring the UK’s only outdoor interactive World War I trench system and over 10,000 items relating the history of the Staffordshire Regiment and all its antecedents from its formation in Lichfield in 1705.
