> The Vietnam War Memorial is the first one in US history, to my knowledge, to list all of the American casualties. Depending on domain of "all" ... it's the only national "all", but not the first to list all for a smaller demographic unit than nation.
Harvard U's Memorial Hall lists all alumni who fell in the Union army, sorted by Class year, on interior hall walls. Even some small town memorials attempted to list sons lost in Civil War, Spanish American war, or WW1. Even a larger town like Norwalk CT lists all its WW1 fallen on 7 panels below a piece of heavy artillery. http://www.passioncompassion1418.com//Canons/ImagesCanons/France/Lourde/155Mle1877Norwalk1.jpg c/o http://www.passioncompassion1418.com//Canons/ImagesCanons/France/Lourde/FC155Lm1877Norwalk.html We don't seem to have that monument on OSM. If we agree on how to tag these, I could add it, as i've been there and taken my own pictures and waypoint. http://www.openstreetmap.org/query?lat=41.11840&lon=-73.40806 Amusing, I found a history of how the monument and gun were once together, then separated, each relocated separately, and finally re-united: http://ctmonuments.net/2009/03/world-war-monument-norwalk/ (They are reunited now, at East & Park, in the Norwalk Green southern apex.)
