The plaque, sensibly made of stainless steel, is inscribed:

Dedicated to the memory of the
68,505 British military and civilian personnel
who were incarcerated and suffered,
so many dying, in the Far East during the
Second World War, who asked for nothing but
remembrance of their lives and a promise of peace
for future generations; forgotten at the end of the
War but remembered by relatives and friends.

Those of us left behind; and the people of Camden.

This tree is dedicated to their memories by
Cllr. Roger Robinson and his family.
14th August 2005.
