On 24 May 2001 (previously called Empire Day), the parish of Langrish in Hampshire unveiled a memorial to E.G. Horlock, VC, in St John's Church. The event was attended by Horlock descendants from all over the world. A contingent from 10 (Assaye) Battery (the descendants of 113th Battery and the holders of the medal) were also present, in addition to members of Portsmouth Branch of the RAA and the RA Artificers' Association. During the ceremony, a tribute was given by the General Secretary, Lieutenant Colonel MG Felton, and the memorial was unveiled by Mrs Mary Fagan, Royal Lieutenant for Hampshire.

Famous quotes containing the words memorial and/or service:
“I hope there will be no effort to put up a shaft or any monument of that sort in memory of me or of the other women who have given themselves to our work. The best kind of a memorial would be a school where girls could be taught everything useful that would help them to earn an honorable livelihood; where they could learn to do anything they were capable of, just as boys can. I would like to have lived to see such a school as that in every great city of the United States.”
—Susan B. Anthony (1820–1906)
“Let the good service of well-deservers be never rewarded with loss. Let their thanks be such as may encourage more strivers for the like.”
—Elizabeth I (1533–1603)
