Jonathan Saunders Posted 26 January , 2004 Share Posted 26 January , 2004 Speaking as a Man of Kent I am curious if you have a specific interest or if it is just the locale. Apologies for being nosey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob HAmilton Posted 27 January , 2004 Share Posted 27 January , 2004 Invicta Do you have a picture of the Erith War Memorial and do you know if there is a memorial in Belvedere (both in Kent/London) I ask as my great uncle was from the area and I don't know if he is commemorated on a local memorial. He was Stoker J W King, HMS Euryalus, KIA 27/8/15 at Gallipoli. Many thanks Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob HAmilton Posted 30 January , 2004 Share Posted 30 January , 2004 John Many thanks for the offer but I visited the memorial a couple of years ago. What I can't find out is if he is commemorated on a local memorial. All of my immediate family are either no longer with us or have moved away so I can't ask them. Many thanks Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Reed Posted 31 January , 2004 Share Posted 31 January , 2004 Do you have any photos of the Polytechnic of Central London War Memorial (it is now the University of Westminster)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Invicta Posted 2 February , 2004 Share Posted 2 February , 2004 Paul I don't have that one as yet. Do you know the building it is in? I work in Westminster and can go and photograph it for you (and me) or look for names etc Regards Invicta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Reed Posted 2 February , 2004 Share Posted 2 February , 2004 From memory it is in the lobby of the old Poly entrance - this is now the main campus of UniWest. I did have a note of the names on it once, but have lost the list. Don't go to any great trouble, but as and when you get round to photographing it, I would be interested in any copies.

Tony Cox Posted 7 March , 2004 Share Posted 7 March , 2004 can you tell me if there is a war memorial in Kennington park, i.am after the name of Sjt Henry James Hirschfield D.C.M lived not far from the park Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Invicta Posted 12 March , 2004 Share Posted 12 March , 2004 Tony The one in Kennington Park is to the 24th London Bttn (The Queens). Sadly there are no names on it. There is a church with a memorial by the Oval Tube Station. I can't remember if it has names on it. I will look next time I am passing.
