Cenotaph Memorial - "Heroes Walls"

The new war memorial walls were unveiled at Southampton Cenotaph as part of Armistice Day services in the City.

The glass panels replace the roll of honour on the existing Portland stone cenotaph in Watts Park, Southampton which has been eroded.

They list the 3,298 names of people killed serving in the two world wars and subsequent conflicts.

 

The 1,922 names already on the Cenotaph have also been inscribed on the walls, and there is enough room for another 400 names to be added to the walls in the future.
The memorial walls have cost £130,000, with Southampton City Council contributing £50,000.

The appeal has been supported by our Chamber of Commerce and The Royal British Legion to raise the rest of the money, which so far has reached £14,000 – with donations received from members of the public, schools, colleges and the business community.

Chamber members can register and make the commitment on line by clicking here or by
e-mail to lisa.hall@hampshirechamber.co.uk or alternatively by letter addressed to Lisa Hall, PA to Chief Executive, Hampshire Chamber of Commerce, Bugle House, 53 Bugle Street, Southampton, Hants SO14 2LF. 

Members of the public can also use this facility to make a donation.

Please just follow the instructions-give generously and let us collectively honour those who gave their lives in our service.
