Introduction
The Battle of the Falklands was a major event in the history of the Falkland Islands and is still commemorated every 8 December. Moves to erect a memorial were started in January 1919 by the London branch of the Falkland Islands Company Limited who were behind the raising of funds by public subscription. Originally to be placed on Victory Green the memorial was finally placed on the site of the old quarantine station on a point looking out across Stanley Harbour. By the end of September 1926 the memorial had cost a total of £891-5-8. An additional £201-5-9 was incurred in October and a final sum of £265-7-1 in January 1927. In a letter dated 2 February 1927 George Roberts, the executive engineer, advised that all works in connection with the Battle Memorial were complete and the whole was ready for handing over to the Battle Memorial Committee.
