War memorial at Paddington Station in 1949

This full length image of the newly rededicated war memorial at Paddington appeared in the December 1949 edition of the, by this time, British Railways magazine. Less was made of this event than in the previous war. Indeed, throughout the Second World War the GWR magazine did not include photographs of the fallen as it did during the years 1914 to 1919; the names of the missing and the dead were simply listed in the Among the Staff section of the magazine each month
