The Memorial Sculpture was unveiled on 14 September 2016. The project was developed by Cllrs Whiteman, Martin and Hobart following the successful dedication of the silhouettes on the Medina Riverbank.

A bugler from Medina Marching Band sounded the last post with 2 standard bearers from the Carisbrooke branch of the British Legion in attendance. Cllr Ian Ward as County President of the British Legion gave the exhortation. From the Island Echo website -see the Reference
