First World War memorial fountain to Lieutenant RMN Bourner, 1922. The memorial fountain was unveiled on 7 November 1922 by the Mayor of Margate, Councillor H B Smith. It was designed by Councillor Gunnis and built by Farmer and Brindley of London. Originally the memorial also incorporated an area from which dogs could drink, at the request of Second Lieutenant Bourner’s family because of his love for animals. At some point the upper part of the fountain, shown in pictures of the unveiling, was lost and later, probably in the early-C21, the pedestal was replaced and base altered. Second Lieutenant Roland ‘Rowley’ Moody Nicholson Bourner fought in the Machine Gun Corps and died from wounds received during his first experience of action at Passchendaele on 28 March 1918 at the age of 27.
