White marble tablet in a nowy-headed marble frame, with 2 black marble pillars. At the top of the frame are the Lodge name and number; in raised gold lettering' at the foot of the frame are a pair of crossed leaves in relief, flanked by the dates 1914 1918 in raised gold lettering. The names are in lead lettering. (Note: In 1916 Lodge No49 had compiled a Roll of Honour of its 200 members who had enlisted in the Forces, 12 of whom it listed at having died.
