- Description
- A nowy-headed oak plaque with a carving of the Regimental badge, depicting Britannia holding a laurel branch, above the carved inscription. The inscription is headed by the Roman numeral IX, which presumably indicates that the bed was numbered 9 in the ward, and that perhaps other beds were similarly endowed, but there is no record of similar dedicatory plaques. The Hospital itself is the subject of a separate record - WMR 55625.
