Entering the area of the memorial stones, you are at the NW side of the memorial. Stand at the single, white, marker stone with the words “The Remains Of Those...” facing you. The long side of the memorial area to your left contains what I will refer to as Bays 1-3, the short side facing you is Bay 4 and the long side to your right contains Bays 5-7.
At the single, white, marker stone you need to note the third letter in the eighth line.
