Remembrance

This week the door with seemingly random holes at Victoria Station has had words added. The WW1 plaque next to it, wreath and poppies signify that it is a war memorial but further than that I can find no information, will have to do some more digging unless someone else knows? I guess I should have read the plaques next to it!

Edit - I have found out that this is the Soldiers Gate, which was rededicated when the station was refurbished this year. The circles are sites of WW1 commonwealth grave sites and cemeteries in northern France and Belgium and their size indicates the number of people buried there. Very poignant.
