Brian, I have been through all these points you make. See reference to local war memorials.
They can be found in churches, cathedrals, train stations and elsewhere.
When in Calais, I stopped to read the names of the fallen men of Calais in the WWs.
Likewise in Dunkirke, at the train station, where an inscription is dedicated to the local railway workers who fell in the two WWs.
In Canterbury Cathedral I stopped to read the names of the fallen British soldiers, including the hundreds of Kentish men who fell in Afghanistan in the 1800s.
