Monument for the pals ? No statue will bring you closer than being in the same trenches they trained in. No plaque will say more than the etchings in St John's pews.
Ugly things can be beautiful. When you actually think about it.

Interesting ... never thought about it in this way. Maybe my name is on it. But I do wish that you had not said "as far back as the 1950s" as if it is ancient history.
And I agree that ugly things can be beautiful. The thought crosses my mind every time I look in the mirror
But this is an original approach that deserves serious consideration.
