About the memorial: An explanatory laminated A4 paper sheet together with a plexiglass plaque on a marble base , all set on a table draped with the Union Flag .The plaque is dark brown with on the left side a spray of lilies cast in brass , the main part shaped as a book with the dedication in gold lettering. The name is incorrectly spelt on the plaque as it was given by the French Maquis in gratitude for his assistance. Strictly speaking it may not be a war memorial as Sgt Matthews appears to have survived, but is worth recording as a most ubnsual episode in the war.
