"The memorial was funded by public subscription, and was unveiled in July 1909. It is located in the corner of Town Hall Square at Every Street / Horsefair Street. The sculpture comprises statues by Joseph Crosland McClure of Leicester Art School, within a design by John Breedon Everard (of Everard and Pick). The bronze inscription panels are mounted on large granite pedestals, which are surmounted by three sculptures by McClure: "War", "Grief" and "Peace"."

Hi Bernice,
Thank you for posting. This is some memorial and quite different. I have a QSA to W.J.Hammond West Yorkshire who is listed, would you mind if I took a copy of your image to add to my file. Paul  "From a billow of the rolling veldt we looked back, and black columns were coming up behind us."

Of course you can.
The more copies people take the better as far as I'm concerned. If only every county had a similar memorial. |
