Huge success with commemorative tablet donations

All the contributions achieved through the Commemorative Tablet donation scheme have been instrumental in making this project possible.

Each Tablet commemorates a donation of £75 or more, to honour the donor's contribution and support, so making the Memorial achievable during 2011. The tablet scheme has raised over £45,200 towards the Memorial costs and has given these donors or their friends and relatives, the opportunity to be remembered as part of their Army Apprentice heritage. The majority of these donations have been made by living ex Army apprentices and totals over 70% of all contributions received to date.

The Tablet

They are in natural granite. The Tablet, in modules of 9 tablets, were built into the periphery of the memorial floor while the Memorial was constructed, forming three complete circles. A section of how they look (while raining) is shown below.

Names and details on all Tablets and their Module locations in the memorial are listed in the TABLET Name LOCATOR here. The MODULE POSITION MAP can be printed from here.
