Mounted on a red-brick wall at the Haslar Hospital site, this ornate metal plaque honors the London County Council staff who served in the naval and military forces during the Great War. Topped with a crest and framed in classical detail, the plaque lists names in structured columns—each one a quiet testament to service, sacrifice, and civic memory. It anchors the site’s institutional legacy in national history. Illustrative, editorial image, a visit to the former site of Haslar Hospital in Gosport, Hampshire, England. 22 August 2025.
