This plaque is dedicated to the memory of Private Thomas George King, born March 1887. He was killed in the Battle of Dury Wood and is buried at Dury Mill British Cemetery, between Arras and Cambrai.

With the closure of the Lodge, the plaque eventually came into the hands of Gloucester Township Historical Society.
