Thanks, if you haven't seen them before (they're quite old) you may be interested in some of these old posts of mine Normandy Arnhem St Malo Flanders Loire
This wall mural in Bangor, N Ireland celebrates a guy called Bingham who won the VC in the battle of Jutland. It got me to remember when I was knee high to a grass hopper we use to play on a submarine gun in a near by park. A few pics of gun and memorial plates.....
International boundary marker between the Republic of Texas and the United States of America. The pic side reads "RT" and the opposite sides reads "US":

Found this one today in North Devon UK. I havent done any research on this but I would have thought it strange to have a monument this size for a Lieuitenant in the Crimea? edit.

"As the legend goes, the reason for this 1000 lb rock at this site is that it was carried this far by King Kamehameha to show off his strength to his men when they were transporting all the washed lava stones/rocks from the "Pololu Valley" to build the "Pu'ukohola Haeiu" (over thirty miles away)

Here we go: Didn't know this one was here until Mrs. melville and I did this (we are humspuds on that site): http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?wp=GC45AW2 For those of you who can't see that one, here's the text: Not sure what to say about the UFO. There was some super secret Navy stuff going on in the vicinity, but that was years ago.
