Royal Fusiliers War Memorial, War memorial statue in Holborn, England
The Royal Fusiliers War Memorial consists of a bronze soldier statue on a Portland stone pedestal measuring 16.5 feet in height.
Created in 1922, the memorial honors 22,000 Royal Fusiliers who died during World War I, with later additions commemorating casualties from World War II.
The bronze statue represents a private soldier in full service dress carrying a rifle with fixed bayonet, guarding the entrance to London.
The memorial stands on a traffic island at Holborn Bar, near the Chancery Lane underground station in the City of London.
The statue was modeled after Sergeant Cox, a Royal Fusilier who served throughout World War I, and identical versions exist in Oldham and Flers.
