One of the plaques is specifically dedicated to women who served in the Second World War, although all the others acknowledge both men and women in their titles. The wall effectively surrounds the precinct in which the older Grenfell Boer War Memorial, Grenfell Great War Memorial and Grenfell War Memorial are located.
