The memorial is visible here mounted to the south side of St. Sepulchre Without Newgate Church, surrounded by a garden of remembrance dedicated to the Royal Fusiliers.

"The Royal Fusiliers (City of London Regiment) was a line infantry regiment of the British Army in continuous existence for 283 years. It was known as the 7th Regiment of Foot until the Childers Reforms of 1881....Throughout its long existence, the regiment served in many wars and conflicts, including the Second Boer War, the First World War and the Second World War. In 1968, the regiment was amalgamated with the other regiments of the Fusilier Brigade – the Royal Northumberland Fusiliers, the Royal Warwickshire Fusiliers and the Lancashire Fusiliers – to form a new large regiment, the Royal Regiment of Fusiliers."
