The Cenotaph is pretty much a grave marker, nothing more, nothing less. If you see a penis or the KKK, then you're doing it wrong.
Potato/potahto. But it's not a grave marker, it's an “empty tomb” commemorating the sacrifice of war dead buried elsewhere. And it happens to be sixty feet tall.

Here's an article about the cenotaph that's interesting.
