You know - you're wondering through some little town and then there's some small plaque or statue in a park with a couple dozen names on it. "Dedicated to the brave citizens of ______ who gave their lives for their country in WWII." Depending on how long ago the war was, there's probably still people in that town who knew those soldiers.

Those are always moving really... particularly when you know something of the town/city - so if you see a memorial dedicated to the 31 men from one town who died during WW1, and the total population even until this day is still around 300 it carries a huge meaning in numbers and local history alone.
