Type of Memorial: Multi-War Memorial Wars mentioned (Multi-war only): Falklands War 1982 In Honor Of: The 258 fallen of the South Atlantic Campaign Marker Text:  " This cairn commemorates the 258 lives lost in the battle to liberate the Falkland Islands in 1982. Following the launch of the "Stones from Home" project in 2002, these stones were brought by combatants of the South Atlantic campaign, by families and friends of the fallen and by other visitors as well as 258 collected by HMS Chatham. A list of inscriptions on the stones can be found in the Chapel's archives. On 14th June 2007, to mark the 25th anniversary of the end of the war, Her Majesty the Queen attended the National Act of Remembrance and Thanksgiving at Pangbourne and placed Her stone. The placement of further stones at the base of the cairn is encouraged; periodically they will be incorporated in the memorial. " Date of dedication: 2007 Who Put it Here?: The Falkland Islands Memorial Chapel Trust Description of Memorial: A cairn memorial made from stones brought from the Falkland Islands, together with other stones brought by friends, families and visitors, some bearing inscriptions. We found the memorial cairn whilst geocaching in the area back in 2009.
