Nancy Treves from the War Memorials Trust says that it is vital our war memorials are protected, as they provide unique records of the men and women who have made the ultimate sacrifice.

It aims to protect the nation's war memorials by marking them with 'SmartWater' - a traceable liquid that should deter metal thieves.
