The only memorial in the world? okaaaaaay....
Menin Gate Memorial - commemorating the 54,869 British soldiers burried in unkown graves (the Tyne Cot Memorial lists another 35000 or so)
Vimy Ridge Memorial - commemortating both the battle of Vimy Ridge and the 66000 Canadians who lost there lives in the Great War.
Personally I find in one of the more moving memorials because of the context that the surrounding terrain places the memorial in - and because of the beautiful sculptures adorning the memorial:
This is the image of Canada the Mother mourning her loss.
