With the impending British withdrawal from Hong Kong the stone was brought to England in 1994 and from 1999 to 2003 stood at the entrance to the National Army Museum.

As can be seen above, information has come to light which surprisingly contradicts what was said on the original plaque. The new information panel states that in fact there was no loss of life when the troopship struck a German mine.

The Middlesex Boulder is a loss to Hong Kong but it has to be admitted it was rather neglected as are, sadly, some other military relics. We have been promised a World War Two heritage Trail for some years but at the time of writing it has yet to materialise. Conversely, the Tyndareus Stone in the British National Army Museum is without doubt now being well looked after. More research has been done and, with the new information panel, it now provides an interesting, well documented exhibit.

I am grateful to Dr Alan J Guy MA, DPhil, FRHistS, FRAS, FSA, the present Director of the National Army Museum, for providing information to help me write this article.
