This from the 'Memorials in Portsmouth' website:

"The memorial is of marble sitting on a stone plinth; there are four plaques surrounding the middle section. The text was originally set out in lead lettering and and by 2010 so many of the letters were missing it was becoming indecipherable. The City Council decided in 2012 to restore the whole monument but rather than replace the lettering in lead they used four black stone plaques".
