About the memorial: Statue of a scout on a stone plinth commemorating Scouts who lost their lives in the First and Second World Wars. The statue was commissioned by the Malden and Coombe District and Esher District Scouts in 1929. The statue was created at Thames Ditton foundry, A B Brown the sculptor was W. Ward Willis.
