The lettering on the granite tablet memorial had become illegible in some parts so the memorial was removed and hand cut over the sand-blasted inscription to make a V cut, thus increasing the depth of the lettering which was then painted in silver. The VC badge and regimental badge were also hand-finished and repainted to restore their glory. In order to preserve the work for a longer period of time the foundation Bristol Pennant kerbing was lowered at the front section to allow for water drainage from the memorial tablet.
