About the memorial: The gardeners of Heligan House are remembered in the gardens which include a Thunderbox which bears the signatures of the staff of August 1914. This WMO entry replicates IWM Register 63622, but IWM has a separate entry 76522 for Leonard Warne, who I have chosen to add to this WMO entry. The Warne memorial is on what seems to be a slate roof tile.
