Cameronians War Memorial, War memorial and sculpture in Kelvingrove Park, Scotland.
The Cameronians War Memorial is a bronze sculpture in Kelvingrove Park depicting three soldiers in combat situations, with one figure operating a Lewis machine gun and two others in varied positions. The statues rest on a rectangular granite base and form a unified composition that captures the intensity of battle.
The memorial was unveiled in 1924 to commemorate losses suffered by the Cameronians Scottish Rifles regiment during the World Wars. Field Marshal Sir Douglas Haig conducted the dedication ceremony, honouring this Scottish unit's military service.
The memorial honours the Cameronians Scottish Rifles and their service during both World Wars. The bronze figures tell a story of duty and sacrifice that remains an important part of Glasgow's local remembrance culture.
The memorial is located in the southwestern section of Kelvingrove Park and is easily accessible from the nearby Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum. The site sits within the public park, which visitors can enter free of charge from various entry points.
Sculptor Philip Lindsey Clark created the memorial based on his personal experience as both a soldier and officer during World War I. This direct experience of war gave the soldier figures an authentic intensity and emotional depth.
