Two columns and a wall with an inscription separate the two sections of the Tower Hill Memorial, here the columns are seen from the back, inside the World War 2 section with the World War 1 pavilion seen in the background.

The inscription on the wall between the two columns, it reads;
THE TWENTY-FOUR THOUSAND OF THE MERCHANT NAVY AND FISHING FLEETS WHOSE NAMES ARE HONOURED ON THE WALLS OF THIS GARDEN GAVE THEIR LIVES FOR THEIR COUNTRY AND HAVE NO GRAVE BUT THE SEA.
