"2006: The tablets were originally mounted either side of the 7th Bn Hampshire Regiment tablet in the Drill Hall, Holdenhurst Road. In 2006 the hall was developed into flats. The central plaque is displayed in its current position but the two name tablets were removed. Originally, the premises on Holdenhurst Road were the Drill Hall of 5th/7th Hampshire Regt.
2011: The tablets were refurbished and re-erected in the churchyard of St Peters Church.
Originally no names were included on the Battalion memorial (our ref 49331) as the Memorial Committee felt it was preferable to include no names than to risk omitting people. Names added at a later date, date not known." Text Source:
