Dear Sir, The Battlefields Trust is very concerned to hear that NATO is planning to construct a radar installation on the Pratzen Heights on the historic battlefield of Austerlitz. nike air max 95 We feel that this is a terribly short-sighted policy as it can only detract greatly from the most important feature of this internationally important battlefield. Adidas Soldes Given that Austerlitz is widely considered to be Napoleon’s greatest victory, any moves that are made which could damage the site of this battle should be resisted. nike air max thea ugg femme france The damage would be widespread and in some cases irreparable. nike air huarache adidas original The visual impact of such a scheme would be very serious, detracting from any visit to the battlefield. nike air force 1 nike air max bw nike air max 90 homme This would inevitably impact upon potential tourism. ugg pour homme pas cher The site could be presented in such a sensitive and appropriate way that many more tourists could be attracted to the site, but this would be all the much harder to achieve if such an installation was allowed to proceed. adidas nmd Of equal concern would be the likely loss of archaeological material as the installation was constructed. bottes ugg Any such material would be vital to improving our understanding of the battle. adidas homme ugg australia classic No doubt, not only would artefacts be lost, but the profile of the ground itself would be changed. In short, the Battlefields Trust urges that the full implications for the historic site should be considered, leading to the rejection of this plan to build the radar installation. Please let me know the names and addresses of any officials I should send this letter of objection to.
