A full picture and description of the memorial can be seen at http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3767287 This was not long after Remembrance Sunday - hence the wreaths of poppies. There is another war memorial in Bethnal Green Gardens, in front of the library. The memorial is not yet complete but the names of all the victims are included as well as quotes and the stories of some of the victims and survivors.
