A bronze World War One monument, the Royal Navy Volunteer Reserve (RNVR) Trophy, has been stolen from Crystal Palace Park, where it has stood for 93 years. The theft is believed to have occurred between August 19 and August 24, according to Bromley Police.
The monument, installed in 1931, was erected to honour the service of RNVR Officers who served during World War One. It is considered of immense historical value, commemorating the 125,000 officers who trained at the Crystal Palace Depot during the war.
Efforts to recover the monument and return it to its rightful place in Crystal Palace Park are ongoing. The community has been asked to stay vigilant and report any suspicious activity that could assist in the investigation.
