Memorial "Hill of Peace"
This memorial is in memory of Albert Figg. Albert served at the 112 Field Regiment and fired in the region of 6,000 shells in Epsom. After the war, Albert became one of the most important campaigners of the Normandy veterans. Due to his fundraising a restored Churchill tank and the statue of an infantryman are sited now at Hill 112.
