    Description
    Four rectangular cream marble tablets mounted side by side within a grey marble border. The two centre tablets bear two bronze relief plaques with dedicatory inscriptions. Names are not ordered by any discernable criteria in the tablets and this would be because they were created during the First World War. Details include rank, full name, regiment and the Harrods department in which the casualty worked. The tablet is wall mounted.
