ETUM – where our Nation remembers


including the Armed Forces Memorial, The Millennium Chapel of Peace and Forgiveness, the Basra Memorial Wall and Shot at Dawn.


The Millennium Chapel is the only place within the UK where the Act of Remembrance is observed every day, with a one minute silence at 11.00, while a talk is given in the Far East Prisoners of War Memorial Building at noon daily, to introduce visitors to the plight of the 55,000 Far East Prisoners of War from World War II who are commemorated there.


The Armed Forces Memorial The Armed Forces Memorial is an iconic memorial that was dedicated in the presence of Her Majesty the Queen on 12 October 2007. Its’ imposing curved Portland stone walls are engraved with the names of more than 16,000 service personnel who


have lost their lives in conflict or as a result of terrorist action since the end of the Second World War.


The Memorial is a nationally significant focus for Remembrance, providing recognition and thanks for those who have given their lives. The centrepiece is two large bronze sculptures, representing loss and sacrifice, on either side of a central bronze laurel wreath.


The alignment and axis of the Memorial portray a greater meaning. Drawing inspiration from prehistoric monuments, on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month, the sun's rays stream through the door of the sculpture, illuminating the wreath in the centre of the Memorial.
