This memorial is a monument dedicated to American soldiers who gave their lives during the [[Yangtze Campaign]] in China at the [[Wikipedia:Yangtze River|Yangtze River]]. Due to its age and lack of maintenance, it is old and weather beaten, but the hand painted signs around it proclaiming ''"Danger, [[Deathclaw (Fallout: New Vegas)|Deathclaw]]s Ahead"'' are quite new.

The Yangtze Memorial is a pre-War landmark in the Mojave Wasteland in 2281.

Background

The Yangtze Memorial honors the fallen of the Yangtze Campaign, a part of the 2073 invasion of the Chinese mainland that occurred as part of the Sino-American War. The intense fighting along the Yangtze River consumed many lives on both sides of the conflict, leading to this memorial being erected to honor American lives lost. The structure is damaged by elements and scavenging, but remains standing over two centuries after the nuclear holocaust. The names of the fallen remain visible on the faded stone. Few wastelanders remember the exact reason for the large cross being there. Now it is mostly used as a useful landmark for navigating the wasteland. At the present, it marks the edges of safe territory around Quarry Junction, after deathclaws took it over. The burial mounds and warning signs are a testament to the ferocity of the territorial reptiles.[1]

Layout

The memorial is in the middle of a platform surrounded by steps descending away from a central fence protecting the monument. There is a hollowed-out rock (identified by a peace sign painted on it) and three graves to the south (one containing a variety of items and two are empty). A "Warning: Deathclaws Ahead!" sign can be found to the east and an abandoned shack to the northwest. A duffle bag is located behind the warning sign.

A coyote often patrols around the memorial, though on occasion a single radscorpion may be present near the graves on the Courier's first visit. High-level radscorpions appear to the north and west, although the memorial itself can be reached in relative safety by a low-level player character.
