Westminster Scholars War Memorial, War memorial at The Sanctuary, Westminster, United Kingdom.
The Westminster Scholars War Memorial stands 23 meters tall with a granite pillar topped by statues of St. George and historical British monarchs.
The memorial, erected in 1861, commemorates 19 Westminster School students who died during the Crimean War and Indian Mutiny between 1854 and 1859.
Four seated figures under Gothic canopies represent Edward the Confessor, Henry III, Elizabeth I, and Victoria, illustrating British royal connections to Westminster School.
Located near Westminster Abbey's west entrance, the Grade II listed memorial features inscriptions on all four sides detailing the names of fallen soldiers.
The pink Peterhead granite pillar includes four stone lions at its base and contains blank shields midway up its structure.
