Derby is the only station I've found an ABW memorial at.

Hi Bernice,
Thank you for posting this.
I have seen it before, I have the QSA to Lance Sgt.Hammond West Yorkshire Regt. on the second photograph.
He is also listed on the memorial at York and inside York Minster.

"From a billow of the rolling veldt we looked back, and black columns were coming up behind us."
