The plaque on the war memorial situated in the centre of the quad which forms the heart of the St John's School, Leatherhead, dedicated on 19 June 1920 to commemorate the 150 Old Johnians known to have been killed in the First World War. The roll of honour, later extended to cover the dead of the Second World War, was in the chapel, later moved to the new chapel built in 1962 and dedicated in 1963. The memorial and surrounds were restored in 2013. The plaque reads: "Mementote vos superstites eorum qui ex hac schola progressi disciplina eius minime dedecorata gloriose pro nobis mortui gloriam sibi sempiternam asciverunt 1914 - 1919 + 1939 - 1945".
