The headstone of Gunner James Collis VC at Wandsworth Council's Magdalen Road Cemetery. On his death in 1918 he was given full military honours but for 80 years lay in an unmarked pauper's grave, with no headstone to acknowledge his act of bravery in the service of his country. On 22 May 1998 a ceremony was held at Wandsworth Council's Magdalen Road Cemetery to mark the erection of a headstone, resplendent with the carving of his Victoria Cross.
