About
Brighton War Memorial is a memorial in south east. Established 1922. (Memorial in Brighton, England.) According to Wikipedia: "Brighton War Memorial is a First World War memorial in Brighton, on the south coast of England. Designed by John William Simpson, it stands in Old Steine Gardens, close to the Royal Pavilion and multiple other monuments. Recruitment to the armed forces was strong in Brighton, and many of the town's public buildings, including the pavilion, were converted into hospitals. The first casualties to arrive were from the local Royal Sussex Regiment, but Brighton came to be associated with Indian soldiers. Around 12,000 Indians were treated in the Pavilion and other makeshift hospitals in Brighton and 74 died."
