    Description
    A pair of brass plaques, each mounted on a backboard. At the top centre of each is a Union Flag with laurel leaves, with a draped curtain or flag at each side. Below the flag is the dedication in black lettering. Below the dedication of each is a parchment scroll: that for the fallen is 54 cm long when unrolled, that for those who served 225cm. Each scroll is on a wooden roller with brass mountings and the scroll bears the names of those commemorated. Below the roller at the base of the plaque is engraved a scroll in five sections. The five sections on the plaque to the fallen contain, from left to right, a laurel wreath, the words 'DUTY DONE', a rose, the words 'VICTORY WON', and another laurel wreath: that for those who served is identical save the words do not appear.
