+1, we should distinguish shape / material appearance from the topic, the
style, the period, etc.
Not only here, but generally. "type" or "thing_type" or A=B, B=C does
generally not work very well, because there are mostly different
possibilities to categorize / group things into a typology, and if the
"kind of typology" is not specified in the key, it tends to end up with
orthogonal properties.

I'm fine with "memorial:theme", but would like to mention also
"commemorates" (maybe this could be more specific, e.g. "World War II"
etc.) as can be seen here:
https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/keys/commemorates#values
There also a "topic" key in small use:
https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/keys/topic#values maybe rather than theme
it could be "memorial:topic=war"?

Cheers,
Martin
