The memorial that is carved from white stone, probably
marble, is in memory of the 700 strong Italian brigade that went to fight in
northern Italy during the Great War. The names are those that did not live to
return to this "Italian" part of London.
The inscription reads, in Italian:
"Non Invano Moriste, O Dolci Ficli, Latin Sangue Centile!
G.D. Annunzio
Al Suoi Figli Gloriosi Soldati Nell 'Esercito Italiano Col Sacrificio Supremo
Consacrando Nella Guerra Mondiale La Fede Nella Patria La Grandezza Della Stirpe
La Colnia Italiana Di Londra A Eterna Memoria Auspice L'Associazone Nazionale
Combattenti
4 Novembre 1927 - Anno VI"
