Near the Wiltshire village of Fovant army regimental badges have been carved into the chalk hill to commemorate those British and Australian soldiers killed in the two World Wars.
The graveyard at the village church of St. George has some sixty graves of army personnel who died.
The badges were first started by recuperating soldiers of the First World war at the army camp based in Fovant.
The Fovant Badge Society looks after the hill site in order to maintain and restore the badges and it is possible to become a member of the society for a small contribution.
