I wouldn't say knack Alex - if the interesting things weren't there in the first place it would be hard to manufacture them! 
They are there for everyone to find.

Well I hope they weren't too mundane! There is just a wealth of fascinating stuff waiting to be seen.

Alas I must confess I didn't Todd. I assumed it was the Great War as it was that which inspired the bulk of war memorials to be erected. I bow to your knowledge of the rifle and the uniform, I was just so interested in finding a kilted statue that I didn't think about further investigation.
