The K6 was the first red telephone kiosk to be extensively used outside London, and many thousands were deployed in virtually every town and city, replacing most of the existing kiosks and establishing thousands of new sites.

In 1935 there had been 19,000 public telephones in the UK: by 1940, thanks to the K6, there were 35,000"

They were responsible for a number of war memorials across the country, a number of which are listed including Wooburn, Fowlmere and Pirton War Memorial (all Grade II).

The dedication ceremony was held on 12 November 1922 and it was unveiled by Sir Archibald Weigall who was Governor of South Australia 1920-1922 and also unveiled many war memorials there. The names of the fallen from the Second World War were added at a later date.

The memorial is sited in a triangular paved area surrounded by the original railings on a low wall with an ornate iron entrance gate located at one corner. Three new gates were added in 1996."
