  • Metal Bronze

About the memorial: The memorial arch forms the main entrance to the station. Within the arch are set four large metal tablets bearing the names of the WW1 dead who were employees of the London and South Western Railway, plus two smaller tablets commemorating the WWII dead of the Southern Railway (without their names see WMO/266601).This is an extreme example of the commonly seen characteristic of full and ornate WW1 coverage with WW2 treated as an afterthought.
