Paddington Station War Memorial

THE war memorial at Paddington station in West London looks in such a good state of repair and maintenance that it would be easy to mistake it as a recent dedication.
This effect is enhanced by a plaque that states the memorial commemorates 3,312 employees of the Great Western Railway who "IN THE WORLD WARS … GAVE THEIR LIVES FOR KING AND COUNTRY"

But the memorial's statue, of a soldier reading a letter, presumably from home, shows a figure with a distinctly WW1 trenchy look.
That is because the memorial was unveiled on Armistice Day 1922, with a new plaque added much later.
