Armistice/Military A-Z challenge for 2018 a list of suggestions though I could not think of K,L,X. Added some web links, they are not meant to be sole source of locations but just a starter, I was doing a local challenge (not A-Z) for our local VMCC and thought it might be a possible national A-Z. Non GB members will have to make up local equivalents.
