I'm gonna say this is the best war memorial I've seen, and I've been to DC and Berlin.
I lost a close young family member a while back, and for some reason thought about how in war time, more families than not were dealing with that incomprehensible grieving that my family was all at the same time.

Very simple, very powerful.

A whole generation that was butchered and damned.
Irish Warning:
"Did you leave a wife or a sweetheart behind,
In some faithful heart is your memory enshrined
Although you died back in 1915,
In some faithful heart are you forever nineteen
Or are you stranger without even a name,
Enclosed there forever behind a glass pane
In an old photograph torn, battered and stained,
Fading to yellow in a brown leather frame"
