Thomas Colyer-Fergusson, VC

Inscription

{Below an image of a Victoria Cross medal:}
Captain Thomas Colyer-Fergusson, Northamptonshire Regiment, 31st July 1917.

Site: VC heroes - Victoria Embankment (12 memorials)

SW1, Victoria Embankment, Victoria Embankment Gardens

Reading right to left: De Pass; Rhodes-Moorhouse; Keysor; Campbell; Dunville; Colyer-Fergusson; Hewitt; Elliott-Cooper; Watson; Drummond; West; Gort. The last 4 were added in 2018, after we'd taken our main photograph.

We do wonder why these VC plaques are here, close to the Ministry of Defence, when others are near the homes of those honoured. A viscount and 3 hyphens?  Does their class have anything to do with this elite location?

We've not seen wet slate plaques look so bad before. Perhaps this is some slate-imitation, which can't cope with rain.
