The Cheltenham College Memorial was dedicated in College Chapel on 27 September 2012 to former pupils who have served in Wars and Campaigns since 1841. The Memorial was transported to its permanent site at the National Memorial Arboretum and was blessed at a Special Service on Sunday 7 October 2012 by The Bishop of Rochester The Right Reverend James Langstaff (L, 1973).
Next to the Memorial is a Lectern Board outlining College's history, donated by Dr Bridget Jepson, the niece of Desmond Scott, an Old Cheltonian who was killed in action in 1916 at Pozières.
