What is this?

What does it say?

The surveyor filed a note, not the words themselves, “WWI memorial names panel – multiple surnames visible; full list unreadable”. The plaque still earns its page: it stands, the ground is named, and the record’s pin is real.

2 plaques on the register share this ground, the others are linked above.

Is the plaque still standing?

The register marks it in service, commissioned 2000. The books' word, though, a plaque may have weathered since the survey, and the pin is the record’s position.
