memorial plaque

Relatives of people who died in the First World War could also receive and specially made bronze plaque bearing the name of their deceased relative. This plaque was not issued automatically, rather the next of kin had to have completed a particular form and if this was not done then no plaque was sent. For more details see: The World War One Memorial Death  Plaque. (northeastmedals.co.uk)
