- History
- When Norfolk Constabulary originally erected this combined WW1 plaque re all its heritage Forces in November 2015, it was fixed to the internal wall near Reception, flanked by Norfolk County Constabulary's original WW1 and WW2 plaques (our refs 87190 and 87191). When a pair of similar plaques re the combined heritage Forces' WW2 casualties was subsequently erected (our ref 87193), the display was amended: the County Constabulary's two original plaques were relocated to a separate area of the wall, and three plaques re the combined Forces' casualties were hung adjacent to each other.
