Not sure I follow how the plaque is revisionist. It states that it was the first one used in history - it seems a bit self-evident that they're referring to in wartime. Anyhow, glad you enjoyed the gallery.

Interesting photo gallery. I wonder if this plaque should be rewritten to state that the Hiroshima bomb was the first atomic bomb used in war. Seems like that little bit of history is always left off revisionist history.
