Theft from war memorials Carshalton, Greater London (WM1595) © Clive Gilbert, 2011 Carshalton, Greater London (WM1595) © War Memorials Trust, 2011 The plaques listing the names of the fallen were stolen from this memorial in 2011.

Questions: 1.Why do you think people were so upset when the plaques were stolen from memorials? 2.Do you think war memorials are still important as when they were first built? 3.Should the stolen parts of war memorials be replaced with the same materials or different, less valuable ones that will put people off stealing them again? 4.Should we still work to care for and preserve war memorials?

Why are war memorials still important?
