History and Conservation

15th September, 2018: The memorial was surveyed by Roy Branson and Anne Branson. It was in fair condition and well cared for. It was noted that the glass in the bottom right corner bore lettering that was slightly smaller and out of alignment with the adjacent lettering, which suggests that it may have been broken and replaced.
