The Next of Kin Memorial Plaque awarded to the family of Walter David Monger for service during WW1.

This plaque, often known as 'The Death Plaque', 'The Widow's Penny' or 'The Death Penny' takes the form of a bronze medallion, 121mm (about 5 inches) in diameter. 1,355,000 plaques were issued to the next-of-kin of the deceased. Altogether, a total of 450 tonnes of bronze was used in their casting. They continued to be issued into the 1930s to commemorate people who died as a consequence of the war.
