Following a careful restoration in 2011, the shrine continues to provide a peaceful place for remembrance and reflection. Eastleigh Town Council is proud to care for this historic monument, ensuring it is preserved for future generations and remains a fitting tribute to the courage and sacrifice of those it commemorates.
