A cheeky one JW...


The same location as one a few guesses ago.


Benenden, The Memorial Hall on the Green just down from the lych gate used previously.

On the edge of a village green.  I don't think it was ever a gate lodge.


Still existing and in full view.

Thanks MartinR


That took some head scratching.  That is a very neat piece of graffiti.  I wonder what the weird thinking was?


There is also an excellent statue of one the the Engineers from Invicta Barracks in that park.


Next one up later.

Assuming Maidstone only has one; yes I'll accept that.  It's the cenotaph in Brenchley Gardens behind the museum.  You've grudgingly got to admire the abilities of the vandals, that V to M transformation had me puzzled for a couple of minutes and I was standing next to it.  I'll forward the photograph with a note to the RBL, I'm sure they are eminently capable of pestering the council to rectify it.
Over to you John.

Yes.  Earlier I gave the clue that it was south of the Medway Towns.

Thank you, the last letter is a 'V' making the date in Roman Numerals 1945. War Memorial somewhere?

No, it's an "X".
Hint: look very closely at the last letter. ;)

Is the first 'letter' of the lower number a slash rather than an 'X' ?

It's two parts of one number.  You need to look very closely though.
