BTW: panels are in proper seniority order from left to right.
This memorial needs a little explaining, since it has virtually zero text.
Each panel is for a specific branch of the service, and on that panel are images of various campaigns for which that branch of service is famous. An iconic image and the conflicts name is all the text we have, I will do my best to spell them out.
