Every war memorial site needs to have a unique name. That is the name by which it would be identified. If, for instance, people arrive at the town hosting the war memorial site, and they want to be taken to the site, that is the name they would give to the taxi operator – in order to be taken to the site. Furthermore, a particular town may have several war memorial sites. The only way to differentiate them would be through their respective (unique) names.
Below are some ideas to help you in naming a war memorial site appropriately:
- Naming the war memorial site after the town in which it is located: if there is no other war memorial site in your town, you can decide to name the new site that you are setting up after the town. Like if, for instance, the town is known as Computershire, and there is no other war memorial site in that particular town, you can decide to have the new war memorial site named as ‘Computershire war memorial site’.
- Naming the war memorial site after the neighborhood in which it is located: if, for instance, the war memorial site is located in a neighborhood known as BoardCastle, you can decide to have it named as ‘Boardcastle War Memorial’ site.
- Naming the war memorial site after a certain battle: if, for instance, the people who are buried at the war memorial site are World War 2 heroes, and it is located in BoardCastle, you can decide to have it named as the ‘BoardCastle World War 2 Memorial’ site.
- Naming the war memorial site after a certain war hero: if, for instance, one of the war heroes buried at the war memorial site was a fellow known as General Terroid, you can decide to have the war memorial site named as ‘General Terroid War Memorial’ site.
So the point we are trying to make is that the name given to the war memorial site has to be one that is meaningful. Whether it is named after a town, a neighborhood, a battle or a war hero, the most important thing is to ensure that the name is one that is truly meaningful.
