A definition of memorials, adapted from James M. Mayo, “War Memorials as Political Memory,” Geographical Review 78, no. 1 (January 1, 1988): 62–75:

Memorials represent the strengths and weaknesses of wars and the societies that make them. They create conversations around symbolic and socio-political landscapes on both local and global levels. They are the social, physical and/or digital arrangements of space and artifacts. They impose meaning and order on chaotic experiences of life.
