Aim

The aim and purpose of the War Memorial is to:

  • be an enduring memorial to those who fell in World War I and World War II.[1]
  • provide offices for the Royal British Legion and other ex-service charities.[1]
  • commemorate the association of the American Armed Forces with the Northern Irish during World War II.[1]
gollark: $170 or so for 10TB if they're on sale.
gollark: I think the most cost-effective internal HDDs right now are 10TB ones pulled from a certain brand of external hard drives... the mystical WD EasyStore.
gollark: Also, if you have an NVMe SSD, though, those are usually in the M.2 form factor, which means they use a few of the (usually one to three) M.2 slots on the board itself, and sometimes take away bandwidth from regular SATA ports.
gollark: HDDs are a bit stagnant right now, but SSDs continue to cheapen.
gollark: You'd certainly hope so.
