London : Guards Memorial

The memorial is made from Portland stone and is a form of cenotaph design. It erected in 1926 dedicated to the five Foot Guards Regiments of the Great War. The bronze figures were cast from the guns taken from the Germans during the Great War (World War 1). The Guardsmen depicted are Sergeant R. Bradshaw, M.M., Grenadier Guards, Lance Corporal J. S. Richardson Coldstream Guards, Guardsman J. McDonald Scots Guards, Simon McCarthy (although the legs are Lance Sergeant W. J. Kidd as Simon was extremely impatient and whilst this statue was being made he walked off and the moulders had to get someone else in the finish off the statue), Irish Guards and Guardsman A. Comley, Welsh Guards. The memorial was unveiled on 16th October 1926 by the Duke of Connaught. (Copyright © Roll-of-Honour.com)

    Danke Eckehard.
    Ich finde es aber so, wie es ist, gut.
    Der untere Teil mit dem künstlichen Kranz ist nicht so interessant.

    @Ruth, ich stand in Whitehall vor dem Gebäude der Horse Guards und habe durch das Gebäude hindurch fotographiert. Da viele Köpfe im Weg waren, mußte ich die Kamera höher halten als ich eigentlich wollte.

    Du hast dem Memorial durch den Bogen einen schönen Rahmen gegeben.
    Mich würde Dein Aufnahmestandort interessieren.
    Gruß
