London and North Western Railway War Memorial
London and North Western Railway War Memorial, War memorial at Euston Station, London Borough of Camden, England.
The Portland limestone obelisk rises 13 meters high outside Euston Station, featuring bronze wreaths and stone crosses in relief at its base.
Field Marshal Douglas Haig unveiled the memorial in October 1921, with 8,000 people attending to honor 3,000 railway employees who died in World War I.
Four statues at the base depict military figures representing different branches: an artilleryman, infantryman, sailor, and airman of World War I.
The Grade II* listed memorial stands in Euston Square, adjacent to one of London's primary railway stations, making it visible to thousands of daily travelers.
The memorial includes the names of London and North Western Railway employees who received the Victoria Cross during the First World War.
