#4 Does not anyone remember reading the story about all the service animals in "Servants of the Queen" in Kipling's "Jungle Book"? Mules and horses, bullocks, dogs, camels and elephants, talking about fear and duty and companionship. (No pigeons, though.)

#5 Did any of the animals honored serve in wars against Muslims? If so, this memorial is offensive and must be taken down immediately. And an apology must be issued to the beautiful multicultural community of England. And bow when you say that, infidel.

#6 There are similar memorials at Gettysburg, various units' markers list the men (and horses) lost in the 1863 battle.
