One plaque commemorates the construction of the esplanade in 1921 under the governorship of General Sir Horace Lockwood Smith-Dorrien. Another tablet is dedicated by Belgium to the Fortress of Gibraltar in recognition of the support given to Belgians during World War II.Adjacent to the memorial are two Russian cannons captured during the Crimean War (1854–1856) and presented to Gibraltar by the British government in 1858.
