About the memorial: Originally in the Coventry RFA Howitzers Club and Institute building 8 Albert St, Coventry. The club went into liquidation in 2012. It was originally formed by members of the 4th South Midland Howitzer Battery Royal Field Artillery, a pre WW1 Territorial Force unit. After WW1, the club was in the Cheylesmore area of the city before moving to Hillfields . Circa 1971, a new club was built in Albert St, the structure being a representation of an artillery field piece. The front of the bar was decorated with a copper frieze depicting battlefield scenes which continued up the stairs to where the memorial stood. As of January 2024, the memorial is temporarily held in private storage as options for relocation are discussed, following the closure of The Royal Warwicks Club on Tower Street.
