About the memorial: 32 Teak Benches, all of which bear a dedication plaque. These are of metal, with a raised border. They are dedicated to regiments or organisations, with only one dedicated to a person. Lettering is raised and burnished on a black background using Roman capital letters. In the armrests are the badges of the regiments or groups dedicated (the same on both ends of the bench unless noted otherwise in the images section). It was not possible to photograph them all as I visited in the middle of the day when they were actively in use as benches. They are placed round the green and the city's Civic Memorial-WMO/136598, and were provided in 2008 when that Civic Memorial was restored.
