    Hi Diane
    Like the picture of the Garigliano memorial, do not recall seeing it last time I was there, but that was some years ago.
    I do remember a member of the Skins (Liverpool branch) who gave me a photo of the original, wondering as to what happened to it, following some building work in the area of the memorial.
    The the front panels must have been saved, thankfully, though the lower one looks as it suffered some damage when being removed.
