This memorial stands in Poplar Recreation Ground, East India Dock Road . OS Ref TQ377809 . It has Listing Status II, and is under the care of the London Borough of Tower Hamlets. It is built of white Sicilian marble with columns of Labrador granite, in a Victorian Gothic design- a white stone column, tapering upwards from a square base, surmounted by an angel with spread wings, and inscribed with the names of the children who died.
The central part of the column is decorated with marble columns or pillars.It is signed by the local undertaker A. R. Adams.
To this day it arouses emotion in people who stop to look at it.
It was unveiled on June 23, 1919, with appropriate ceremony, to commemorate the children of whom the Mayor of Poplar had said: 'These boys and girls as truly suffered for their country as any men who have perished in the trenches, on the high seas or in the air'.
