The police are investigating. They will have their lines of enquiry. Please share this image widely so that everyone knows what it looked like.

Sadly this plaque lasted 5 days … but English Heritage have said they will replace it & those of us involved in researching the story of the prisoners of war from the Caribbean are taking up the St Lucia High Commissioner’s call to share the story widely warwick.ac.uk/fac/arts/mod...

You can share the image of the plaque so everyone can see it. And/or share this guided tour which explains who the Caribbean prisoners of war were and why there were thousands of them in Jane Austen’s Hampshire in 1796
