I love it but for one thing. It's made out of wood. I fear some moron will burn it down or break it apart because they feel it would be the righteous thing to do.

...and they marched away from a city that was destroyed a couple of years later to the point of looking like a part of war-torn France. Both of the wars were tough on Halifax but the First war was totally devastating.
