Royal Naval Division Memorial
Royal Naval Division Memorial, War memorial at Horse Guards Parade, England.
The Royal Naval Division Memorial features an obelisk rising from a bowl with water spouts emerging from sculpted lion heads at its base.
Designed by Edwin Lutyens and unveiled in 1925, the memorial commemorates members of the 63rd Royal Naval Division who died in the First World War.
The memorial incorporates relief carvings of military insignia and an excerpt from Rupert Brooke's poem 'III: The Dead' on its stone surface.
Visitors can access the memorial during daylight hours when ceremonial events are not taking place at Horse Guards Parade in central London.
The memorial was dismantled in 1939 for the Admiralty Citadel construction, relocated to Greenwich, and returned to its original site in 2003.
