Brass commemorative plaque, Punjab Frontier Force Memorial, 1945 (c)

Brass plaque inscribed, 'To the Glorious Memory of the Viceroy Commissioned Officers, N.C.O's and Men of the 14th Bn Frontier Force Rifles. who gave their Lives in the 2nd World War 1939-1945'.

After the Partition of India in August 1947 the Frontier Force units were divided between the Indian and Pakistan Armies. It was then decided that the memorials to the Punjab Frontier Force, 'The Piffers', erected in the garrison churches should be relocated to England, and in 1951 they were installed in the Parish Church of St Luke's, Chelsea where they remained until their removal to the National Army Museum.
