Queen Mary pictured in Palace Road, South Hackney, chatting to locals and inspecting a local Rolls of Honour, attached to the wall of a house in the street. 111 men from 77 homes had enlisted from the street and the decorated shrines were the idea of the Rev. B. S. Batty, Rector of St. John of Jerusalem of South Hackney. There were similar tributes in Balcorne Street, Havelock Road, Frampton Park Road and Eaton Place
