If approved, The National Caribbean Monument Charity hopes to put the monument, depicting four servicemen and women at the National Memorial Arboretum in Alrewas.

A spokesperson said:

> “On discovering that there is no positive memorial for Caribbean military service personnel at the National Memorial Arboretum, we have embarked on a project to raise awareness and educate the general public.  
>  
> “This monument will be in recognition of their contributions and sacrifices to Britain and to create a lasting legacy for present and future generations through educational programs in schools, faith groups, community centres and other organisations.”  
>  
> The National Caribbean Monument Charity spokesperson

An [online fundraising campaign](https://www.justgiving.com/campaigns/charity/nationalcaribbeanmonument/justgivingtncmc?ref=lichfieldlive.co.uk) has also been launched to help fund the new memorial.

Full details of the proposals can be seen [on Lichfield District Council’s planning website](https://planning.lichfielddc.gov.uk/online-applications/applicationDetails.do?activeTab=summary&keyVal=R9AW51JEITK00&ref=lichfieldlive.co.uk).
