1999 Memorial
In November 1999 a brass plaque was erected in Clough's memory at Annapurna base camp. The text of the plaque reads:
IAN CLOUGH
The plaque was commissioned by Kelvin Kent, who had been base camp manager on the expedition. An earlier memorial at the site is an inscription reading "Ian Clough, killed May 30, 1970", cut into rock shortly after Clough's death with an accompanying message in a local language.

Famous quotes containing the word memorial:
“When I received this [coronation] ring I solemnly bound myself in marriage to the realm; and it will be quite sufficient for the memorial of my name and for my glory, if, when I die, an inscription be engraved on a marble tomb, saying, “Here lieth Elizabeth, which reigned a virgin, and died a virgin.””
—Elizabeth I (1533–1603)
