About the memorial: Bronze Plaque with white lettering, in wooden frame, On the concourse, on the wall between platforms 8 and 9, A series of photographs giving a narrative of the event have been added to the adjacent railings as at March 2022. It is unclear if this is a temporary thing, or intended to be permanent. So images of them are attached here. They have been hand annotated with the date. Unfortunately some have been given the year of 1918 when they clearly all relate to November 1920. This is not a criticism of someone's good intentions, merely an observation, to aid the casual observer who could otherwise end up feeling a bit confused when looking at this very helpful montage.
