About the memorial: The Square in the shopping precinct is named after the conflict, with a stone of remembrance in the centre to denote the fact. A decision was taken in 2022 to replace the stone and plaque with a memorial which more precisely recorded the role of locally based forces. The old stone was removed on June 7th 2023. The new memorial was dedicated on 14 June 2023 and consists of a block of stone from the Falklands placed in the centre of a circle of crushed stones. . On each face is a bronze plaque noting the four elements of the Task Force with Poole connections. Below those at the sides for the Royal Navy and the Royal Marines is a further plaque outlining (to the left) the role played by these forces and (to the right) the history of the memorial itself.. Below those at the front and back for the Royal Artillery and Combined Operations is a smaller plaque saying Falkland Square.
