Livesey Hall War Memorial, War memorial and sculpture in Sydenham, United Kingdom
The Livesey Hall War Memorial features a bronze figure on a semi-circular stone base with limestone slabs displaying commemorative plaques.
Built in 1920 by sculptor Sydney March, this memorial honors South Suburban Gas Company employees who lost their lives during World War I.
The memorial incorporates inscriptions from poet Rupert Brooke, reflecting British perspectives on sacrifice in foreign territories during wartime.
Located on Perry Hill in front of Livesey Memorial Hall, this Grade II listed structure maintains regular remembrance services throughout the year.
Three bronze plaques from the memorial were stolen in October 2011, highlighting the vulnerability of metal monuments to theft in London.
