Jumping in here briefly, as this is my local area of London and I have several photos of war memorials from the area and could take more if needed. I was surprised (if pleased) to see an article created on [[Twickenham War Memorial]]. What would be the reason for this being Grade II* listed and something like the more imposing (and more visible, being by the side of a busy road) [[Isleworth War Memorial]]? Is the line drawn strictly at the listed grade, or are there other criteria to consider? (PS. From [[Grade II* listed war memorials in England|the list]], Harrow School War Memorial Building has an interesting history from my memory of reading about that a few years ago - it has a quote from '[[O Valiant Hearts]]' - see [https://www.iwm.org.uk/memorials/item/memorial/11322 here]).

Season's Greetings
Wishing you a Happy Holiday Season, and all best wishes for the New Year! Mystical Nativity (Filippo Lippi) is my Wiki-Christmas card to all for this year. Johnbod (talk) 16:39, 17 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Kingston upon Thames
Reigate and Redhill

Ham II - Now, this one's a little 'thin'! Do you have any sources that might assist, in the same way you've admirably expanded the BMA memorial? It has little online presence, beyond the HE/IWM details, and its offline presence is worse - not even mentioned in Pevsner, although it wasn't Grade II* when the revised London: South came out. I've copied Ham in, as they may be able to help, and will certainly correct my MoS errors. So who wants the honour of the last one, Kingston upon Thames War Memorial? All the best.
