SW3, Royal Hospital Road, Royal Hospital Chelsea, Middle Court

In our photo you can see the Latin text on the frieze to the arcade. The statue faces the building and backs the Thames, and the camera. The Carlos plaque is at the base of the statue. You can see that there are dozens of plaques in the arcade along the whole length of the south-facing façade. These are mainly to individuals associated with the Hospital, many of them former Governors. We collected only the plaque that you can see to the right of the entrance, to those killed at the Royal Hospital Chelsea in WW1 and in WW2.
