{Below an image of a Victoria Cross medal:}
Private Jack Harvey, London Regiment (The Queen's) 2nd September 1918.

The plaque is laid in the ground and can be seen in our photo in front of the unoccupied chair.

In 2018 News from Crystal Palace reported the plan to lay 3 of these VC stones here, for Major Stewart Loudoun-Shand VC and Richard Basil Brandram Jones VC, as well as the one for for Jack Harvey VC. But we have only found Harvey's stone.
