Comments:
Only the location of the lower part of the memorial is known. This is now embedded in the gravel of the front garden of a housing complex. Due to it being on the floor in a horizontal position, it is in very poor condition due to weathering and biological growth. The inscription and names are barely legible as the paint has worn away. The curator of the Lowestoft War Museum is very keen to rescue this memorial and has offered it a permanent home in the museum's collection. WMT regional volunteers are making inquiries as to who is currently responsible for this memorial and where the upper part may be.
