The
war memorial - Royal Fusiliers' City of London is dedicated to
both the 1914 - 1918 and 1939 - 1945 Wars. A bronze statue of
a Royal Fusilier in battle dress is mounted on a tall Portland
stone tapered pedestal plinth with a stepped base. The
pedestal is mounted on the west face with the Fusilier's badge
in bronze and carved dedications with black letter infill. On
the east face is a large bronze plaque with raised lettering
listing the Battalion Honours. Around the lower stepped base
are placed small stainless steel hooks for
wreaths.
The wording on the front of the memorial is as follows:
