So, you know how humans sometimes have wars where they fight each other? Well, a very long time ago, humans realized that animals could also help them in wars. They would use them to carry things or to help them move around faster.
But sometimes, these animals would also get hurt or even die in the war along with the humans. So, to remember all the animals that helped and sacrificed for humans in war, people made a special memorial for them.
It's kind of like a special place where people go to remember all of these animals and thank them for their service. It's important to remember and honor these animals because without them, humans might not have won some of the wars.
