Plaque: John Sayer VC
Erection date: 22/3/2017
Inscription
{Below an image of a Victoria Cross medal:}
Lance corporal John Sayer, the Queen's Royal West Surrey Regiment, 21st March 1918.
Site: Islington war memorial, 5 VCs and Ogilvy-Webb (8 memorials)
N1, Islington Green
In July 2018 the 5 VC plaques are laid into the explanade in front of the war memorial, reading left to right: Parslow, Booth, Train, Sayer, Roberts. These are laid in a row, inter-spaced with blank stones.
The information plaque is laid into the grass, to the right of the war memorial. On our visit this was fenced off (not sure why) so we could not reach the plaque to clear the leaves and read it completely. We'll have to go back.
