		The Crimean War is largely remembered now for two things — the infamous "Charge of the Light Brigade" in which the cream of England's cavalry was slaughtered by Russian forces, and the work of Florence Nightingale.
		At the onset of the war she assembled nurses and supplies and struck out for the war zone, establishing a field hospital and under appalling conditions saving countless lives.
		Among her contributions is the invention of a relative of the familiar pie chart, called the Polar Area Model, which Nightingale used to graphically express statistics on the casualties of the Crimean War and to mobilize government support for improvements in the care of the wounded.

		4.1 This monument erected at Moorhead in 1863 by public subscription, is a memorial to the citizens of the town who fell in that conflict and as such is probably the oldest war memorial in the modern sense in the City, since prior to that time only generals and admirals were usually memorialised.
		Therefore it is recommended that the reconstruction of the memorial should incorporate interpretive materials on site which would set it and the war in a historical context.
