Exeter War Memorial, War memorial in Northernhay Gardens, Exeter, United Kingdom
The memorial features a 31-foot-tall structure with bronze figures representing different military branches positioned on the four arms of the cross.
The monument, designed by sculptor John Angel and erected in 1923, commemorates soldiers from World War I through the Afghan conflict with bronze plaques.
The bronze figure of Victory stands atop a dragon, holding laurels while bronze figures of a soldier, sailor, prisoner of war, and nurse adorn the base.
The memorial received Grade II listed status from Historic England in 2014 and remains a central location for Remembrance Sunday services.
During World War II, authorities constructed a protective brick wall around the memorial to prevent potential bomb damage to the structure.
