Richard Roberts (<richard.nsw@googlemail.com>) has forwarded photos of the War Memorial for St. George's in Leicester City.

The Leicester (St. George's) Memorial is situated in the churchyard of St. George's Church, Rutland Street, in a secluded area in the middle of Leicester City. The church itself was built during 1823-1827, the first Anglican church to be built in the City after the Reformation. It is now used as a Place of Worship by the Serbian Orthodox Church.
