Work is to be carried out on the Southampton Cenotaph in Watts Park.

Glass panels will be erected next to the Cenotaph,  with the names of the soldiers who lost their lives in the First World War which have begun to fade on the monument itself.  An extra 1200 names of service personnel who have died in more recent conflicts will be also etched onto the panels. 

It is hoped that all will be completed in time for Armistice Day on November 11th - the 90th anniversary of the unveiling of the original cenotaph which was designed by Lutyens.
