These were originally displayed at the Police War Memorial Hospital at Twickenham (WMO/259938). After the hospital was demolished, the boards were moved to storage, where they rotted. The surviving fragments are at the Metropolitan & City Police Orphans Fund's offices. Replica boards were made in 2005 and are on display at Hendon (WMO/281758).
