I'd really love to see the UK do this... fantastic.

Long overdue. Lackland's a huge base but I wish it was somewhere like Washington DC where more civilians can see it.

Since it's apparently being paid for by donations I think it's an excellent idea. About time.

We're way ahead of the US in this, just a cursory search turns up these two examples.
Purr-n-Fur UK | Cats in Wartime | Animals in War Memorials
Remembered at last: animals who served during wartime - This Britain - UK - The Independent
BBC - Freda, wartime-hero dog, remembered on Armistice Day

The inscription carved on the front or inside of the memorial reads:
ANIMALS IN WAR
This memorial is dedicated to all the animals that served and died
alongside British and Allied forces in wars and campaigns throughout time.
They had no choice.
That last line made me a little weepy.
