Inscribed in ink: 'Sketch Design for Keil Memorial. Portland Stone. Scale 1/6 Alan Durst Sc[ul]ptor 11 April 1949'

And in pencil: 'The quotation from Shakespeare on the oopposite aide might be, Either:-
"The summer's flower is to the summer sweet
Though to itself it only live and die." Sonnet 94

Or:- "O! how this spring of love resembleth
The uncertain glory of an April day,
Which now shows all the beauty of the sun,
And by and by a cloud takes all away." Two Gentlemen of Verona I.3.'
