This is part of the original memorial - the other part is now elsewhere on the same site.



The whole memorial was originally in the "Officers' Mess, Hyde Road, Ardwick," which is probably Ardwick Green Barracks, and is now in two parts at the UOTC (University Officers' Training Corps) Hall, Manchester University, about 20 feet above ground level in the hall. At the time of my visit I was going by what the Imperial War Museum's memorial website has about the memorial, and wasn't aware that it had been split up. The two gentlemen who were on site said that they only knew of two ABW memorials there, the other one also being in the hall which I photographed, and they knew nothing about a tablet containing the names of those of the 2nd V.B. who had served in South Africa. I've since found that it's been " built into the inside of an exterior wall to University Barracks," so will have to return to photograph it.
