The Animals in
War Memorial is located in London on Park Lane Hyde Park . Unveiled on 24 November
2004 by the Princess Royal, it stands as a memorial to the countless animals
that have served and died under British military command throughout history.
Beneath the main header "Animals in War" the memorial has two separate inscriptions:
the first and larger reading:
"This monument is dedicated to all the animals
that served and died alongside British and allied forces
in wars and campaigns throughout time"
The second - but to me the more poignant - smaller inscription simply reads:
"They had no choice"

I love that monument
I have never seen it. Must see it when I am in London.
It's in the middle of a dual carriage way and a bit difficult to get to but the second quotation is somehow inspired.
