Brecon Beacons, Wales. Fires burned at the peaks of the Beacons warned the Welsh of the approach of English armies in ancient times; today, the Beacons are part of a chain of similar peaks across the country that are set alight when the nation celebrates a great occasion or event.
Clue:
I maintain a lonely watch over a patch of land men died upon who had never seen it, for a country they were not citizens of, against a nation their own homeland had no dispute with, to liberate a land they had no connexion to.

When you miss me just look up to the night sky and remember, I'm like a star; sometimes you can't see me, but I'm always there.
