About the memorial: The memorial was moved from its original site on Burton Road nearby as a result of the redevelopment of roads and housing in the area. This occurred in 1989, and a small copper plaque on the right face of the plinth records this. The left face of the plinth bears the Kohima Epitaph. The Historic England entry still refers to the Burton Toad site.
