The National Memorial Arboretum
The positioning of the new 14th/20th King's Hussars memorial at the arboretum couldn't be better. It is placed just on the right of the footpath as you walk to towards the main armed forces memorial in the centre of the establishment, next to that of the King's Royal Hussars if you have seen that before?
