Can anyone confirm whether this memorial has been moved to Lark Hill Camp?

John,

If you trust Wikipedia they have a “List of public art formerly in London” at:

In the “Notes” section there is the comment “Moved to Larkhill Garrison, Wiltshire, at some point after October 2008.”[18][19]

Tom,

Thanks for that.

I knew the change was on the cards, along with relocating the R. A. Museum to the same location.

John,

Just to confirm that the memorial is at Larkhill, a short distance from the camp gate - I visited a couple of years ago.

Tim,

Thanks for that. A better place for it given the circumstances.
