Inscription
{Around a depiction of two firefighters:}
To the people of Penge who suffered war and change, showing courage, dignity and humour.
Flying bomb - Summer 1944.
We initially thought this memorial probably referred to one very bad bombing event. But, reporting on the unveiling of this plaque, News Shopper wrote: "When VI 'flying bomb' rockets were targeted on London, in the summer of 1944, people said a square mile of Penge was hit by more flying bombs than anywhere else."
