About the memorial: Addition to family gravestone which is a granite cross on 3 large plinths and with inscriptions on 2 faces. The inscription gives the family name as Johnston but the casualty's name as Johnstone. Also he died in Netley Hospital during the 2nd Boer War but there is no indication that he was a casualty of that war, however he was a serving soldier to be at Netley Hospital, so this is a memorial, irrespective of whether his death was directly due to the 2nd Boer War.

As a conservation charity which gives grants War Memorials Trust can support repair and conservation works that follow best conservation practice. Grants are awarded from funds raised by the charity so money available is limited and is therefore focused on eligible war memorials.

War Memorials Trust’s Definition of a war memorial for funding purposes helpsheet explains which war memorials are eligible and ineligible for funding.

As a charity, War Memorials Trust relies on voluntary donations and every contribution, no matter how large or small, makes a really big difference to our work. Your donation will help protect and conserve war memorials for future generations so please support War Memorials Trust’s work.
