Some of the six cottages which comprise the Regiment's Second World War Memorial. The Cottages are named Europe 1939-1945, Bates, Gristock, Knowland, Randle and Asia 1942-1945. They were intended for war veterans from the Royal Norfolk Regiment, the members of which won 5 Victoria crosses in the 2nd World War, the greatest number for any British Division in the conflict. The site was donated by the Norwich Home Guard. The houses named 'Europe' and 'Asia' refer to the theatres of war in which the regiment fought, the other four names being those of 4 of the holders of the Victoria Cross.
