From KCRW and KCRW.com, I'm Bob Carlson, and this is Unfictional.

Unfictional is KCRW's program of stories and original documentaries.

It's a part of KCRW's Independent Producer Project, a laboratory for independent radio producers, writers, and performers.

And today on the program, I'm featuring another documentary from British writer and producer

Kathy Fitzgerald.

She makes intimate radio programs that are filled with all the mystery, economy, and minimalism of a good short story.

Her collaborator is Matt Thompson of Rocket House Productions.

And you may remember the last time we heard from Thompson of Rocket House Productions.

And you may remember the last time we heard from them on this program,

it was a few months back, a visit to the Museum of Broken Relationships,

a repository for objects left over from past love affairs.

Well, this time, Kathy Fitzgerald takes us to one of London's least known monuments,

built in 1900, tucked within a small, easy to miss park behind a church.

It's here that a few humble rows of tiles commemorate some brave souls who died while saving others.

Each tile has a few lines describing the moment of sacrifice.

They're little bits of poetry,

so little hicoos of death. And once you read one, you want to find out how everyone else died.

Frederick Alfred Croft, Inspector, age 31, saved a lunatic woman from suicide at Woolage Arsenal Station, but was

himself run over by the train, January 11th, 1878.

Most of the events happened a long, long time ago. Tiles from the 1880s, 1890s, a few from the early 20th century, but then one tile stands out, 2007.

On this episode, stories from the memorial to heroic self-sacrifice from
