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:
The Royal Fusiliers

To the glorious memory of the 22000 Royal Fusiliers who fell
in the Great War 1914 - 1919
And to the Royal Fusiliers who fell in the World War 1939 -

And those fusiliers killed in subsequent campaigns
