About the memorial: The Feltham Branch of the Federation of Discharged and Demobilised Sailors and Soldiers purchased land in Bedfont Lane, just off Feltham High Street, and published plans for a grand war memorial hall to be erected on the site (Middlesex Chronicle, 22nd November 1919). This was however never built. Instead "as a temporary measure a Y.M.C.A. hut was acquired....A pair of condemned cottages situated on the land were converted so as to provide committee and other rooms on each side of a passage leading through to the spacious hut, which was assembled in rear of and in contact with the existing structure, having a length of approximately 100ft. and a breadth of 25ft." A captured German field gun stood in front of the premises. At its official opening on 25th September 1920, the building was described as "a fitting memorial to those who served their country and had come back and also to those men of Feltham who laid down their lives" (Middlesex Chronicle, 18th September 1920 and 2nd October 1920). The building was generally referred to as the Ex-Servicemen's Club, and sometimes the Ivy Leaf Club, rather than as a war memorial. This "temporary measure" stood until 1973, when a new clubhouse was built further along Bedfont Lane adjacent to Blenheim Park. The second building stood until 2016, but does not seem to have been designated as a war memorial.
