About the memorial: Book of Remembrance in the Memorial Hospital (WMO/245553)- paper bound in red leather with the writing in illuminated Calligraphy. It is contained in a wooden bookcase, which has a glass top and a brass dedication plaque on the front face. A canopied strip light overhangs the case. The years are carved on left and right. The bookcase is in the entrance hall of the Hospital. A single name for the Falkland Islands conflict of 1982 has since been added, to what is now page 1. One of the WW2 names is that of Bertha - the first Metropolitan police officer killed in WW2- see also WMO/287771 and 287772
