No conflicts or actions are stated in the inscription but Cdr Chapman would have served in the Royal Navy in the period after WW2 when a number of conflicts occurred. The memorial does not fall within the criteria used by most heritage organisations but is included here because of the above, because it clearly refers to his (presumably naval) work, and to create a record which might otherwise be lost.
