Korean War Memorial, London

The Korean War Memorial in Victoria Embankment Gardens serves as a direct acknowledgement of a conflict often described as the forgotten war. While British forces were the second largest contributor to the United Nations efforts in Korea, this monument did not appear until December two thousand and fourteen. It stands as a gift from the Republic of Korea, funded by the South Korean government, local businesses, and the Korean community in Britain to honor the eighty-one thousand British servicemen who deployed to the peninsula between nineteen fifty and nineteen fifty-three.
