Originally a bronze plaque was fixed to the front of the memorial. A description of the plaque is found in The Kentish Independent, dated, 13th October 1922, and reads: “The figure on the right with a palm in her left hand, symbolises Peace mourning the loss to humanity of these brave men. That on the left, holding in her right hand a torch turned downwards, the flames of which rising, symbolises Death and the Resurrection. Between these figures is an urn designed to express unity of purpose in Life and unity in Death. The badge of the brigade surmounts the bronze tablet, and on the back of the stones is engraved a swastika, the brigade’s mascot…” The bronze plaque was removed sometime in the 1990s. There is a commemorative text cut into the area where the original bronze plaque was fixed. The text reads; ‘To the glorious memory of our fallen comrades of the 8th London Howitzer brigade R.F.A. T.F. who gave their lives in the Great War of 1914 – 1918.’
