About the memorial: Memorial found in an auction house in the West Country in 2002 and passed to War Memorials Trust to help relocate. After a lot of detective work by the Trust and some of its Regional Volunteers it was identified as likely to be recording men who worked for a quarry firm known as H.T. or W.W. Jenkins in Torquay and who died in the First World War. The memorial was relocated to Torquay Museum and the full story behind the project can be read in War Memorials Trust's Bulletin accessed via the Links section below. The Torquay Roll of Honour is a large watercolour painting (110cm by 80cms or 44 x 32 inches) with 109 names written on an elaborate background painting. The painting depicts Britannia standing with a lion, a cannon and some national flags - among which are those of Great Britain and her World War I allies France, Italy and Romania - on top of a marble pediment which is supported by two columns. There is a list of names in three columns enclosed by the three sides of this structure; the names are all in white apart from two, which are in black. At the bottom of the right hand column are 8 names under the heading For Munitions Factories etc. The names are painted on to a landscape which shows men carrying bayonets running into no man’s land. At the bottom of one corner of the painting is a depiction of pieces of stone and tools which indicate marble quarrying. The painting is signed by G. Sanguinetti and has a dark wood frame with a gold slip.
