To the memory of Field Marshal Sir Henry Wilson Bart. GCB, DSO, MP, whose death occurred on Thursday 22nd June 1922, within two hours of his unveiling the adjoining memorial.
The memorial that Wilson had just unveiled before his death is the main war memorial, not the one to Fryatt.
Site: WW1, Fryatt and Wilson (3 memorials)
EC2, Liverpool Street Station
Prior to the restoration of the station these memorials stood elsewhere. The war memorial was originally erected in the booking hall. One can see that the arrangement has been rather cobbled together - the lift would not have been part of any original design. The stone frieze, "Great Eastern Railway", was salvaged from Harwich House.
