War Memorial at St Anne's Soho

Inscription

The glorious dead
1914 – 1918
{A list of 63 names in two columns in alphabetical sequence, except for Albert V. Box which is added at the end. See Subjects Commemorated for the list.}
Their name liveth for evermore.
{A further 20 names are carried on stones added to each side. No explanation is given but we assume these are the dead of WW2, also in the Subjects Commemorated list.}

We note that the name John B. Freeman appears twice. Whilst this is probably a mistake on the part of the memorial creators we cannot assume that.

W1, Wardour Street, St Anne's Soho

In our photo the Williams plaque can be seen low on the left-facing wall.  The King of Corsica plaque is on the same wall, to the right.  The free-standing drinking fountain is on a shallow platform between the Williams plaque and the two people seated on the steps.  The war memorial is on the right-facing wall.
