About the memorial: A wall mounted oblong bronze plaque. At the head is a heavy moulded cornice bearing the name of the school incised in upright capital roman lettering and a superimposed boss with an heraldic design including helm and mantling, with two round shields: that to the left containing the school monogram in gold against a blue ground; that to the right containing the 'Buck in the Park' badge of the Derby County Borough Council which was also the school's badge, and with a narrow bead and reel astragal below. To each side is a classical ornamentation with bound fascine torus, and at the foot is a further, smaller, moulded cornice, also with narrow bead and reel astragal. The main panel of the plaque has an inscription in a central column with names in two further columns to each side, all in raised capital roman lettering. The School was at Abbey Street, Derby (where the memorial was in the Central Hall). The School moved to it's current site in 1930 and was renamed as Bemrose School (thus it's WW2 and later memorials are under that name-WMO/291451 and 291453- report 291451 also recites the subsequent history of the school and it's renamings). At Bemrose School it was originally on the southwest wall, at the junction of the corridors. It has also been reported as previously being in the library, but by 2018 was in the north west corridor. There are a total of 68 names. See also WMO/291455 for the subsequent memorial trees.
