24th Division War Memorial
24th Division War Memorial, War memorial in Battersea Park, England
The Portland limestone memorial features three infantry soldiers in full military equipment, with a serpent circling their feet on a cylindrical base.
Unveiled in October 1924 by Field Marshal Lord Plumer, this memorial pays tribute to over 35,000 casualties of the 24th Division during World War I.
The memorial includes twenty carved military badges representing different units of the 24th Division, preserving their identity through detailed craftsmanship.
Located on East Carriage Drive within Battersea Park, the Grade II* listed memorial stands at 6 feet 6 inches tall and remains open for public viewing.
The three soldier figures were modeled after actual servicemen, including Trooper Morris Thomas, Sergeant J Woods, and the poet Robert Graves.
