1917年呼吁建立第一次世界大战国家纪念碑，导致了伦敦帝国战争博物馆的建立。它还启发了苏格兰、威尔士和爱尔兰的国家纪念馆。英国国家纪念碑从未被提议；相反，纪念碑和无名战士陵墓被构思为帝国纪念碑。北爱尔兰的新国家并没有纪念它在自己领土上的整体战争努力。本文概述了苏格兰、威尔士和爱尔兰第一次世界大战国家战争纪念馆的组织、位置和设计。它考察了英国固有的地方性、地域性、民族性和帝国性身份认同之间复杂关系的某些方面。通过这样做，它揭示了第一次世界大战结束时联合王国国家认同的混乱和有争议的性质。
The 1917 call for a national memorial to the First World War led to the establishment of the Imperial War Museum in London. It also inspired Scottish, Welsh and Irish national memorials. No English national memorial was ever proposed; instead the Cenotaph and the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier were conceived as imperial memorials. The new statelet of Northern Ireland did not commemorate its overall war effort within its own territory. This article surveys the organization, location and design of the Scottish, Welsh and Irish national war memorials to the First World War. It examines some aspects of the complex set of relationships between the local, regional, national and imperial layers of identity that are inherent in Britishness. In doing so it reveals the confused and contested nature of national identity in the United Kingdom at the close of the First World War.
