The stunning Naval Service Memorial (NSM) at the National Memorial Arboretum (NMA) remains one of the most striking and popular exhibits.

The on-site ground staff team work hard to maintain the memorial on our behalf, but they have now advised us that some repairs are necessary, and a degree of ongoing maintenance to the memorial is required.

Some of the wonderful panels which you can see in the pictures are now suffering from water ingress damage.

We are looking to repair the damaged panels and supply a ‘seal’ to all of the panes of glass. The seal was not available in 2014 when the Memorial panels were assembled. All new memorials now arrive already sealed.

Once the repairs are completed, we shall continue to work closely with the NMA to ensure that a comprehensive maintenance programme is in place in perpetuity.

Working with the glaziers and the NMA, we have been advised that a total of £75,000 is needed to repair and maintain the memorial for years to come.

We believe that many may not be aware, or have forgotten, how incredible the Naval Service Memorial looks.

We thoroughly recommend a visit to the National Memorial Arboretum, which is close to Burton in Staffordshire.

Please contribute where you can, to enable us to repair and maintain the Memorial for all future visitors to enjoy, ensuring its longevity.

All donations are very gratefully received. Once Navy Always Navy
