Royal Artillery Memorial
Royal Artillery Memorial, War memorial at Hyde Park Corner, United Kingdom.
The Royal Artillery Memorial features a large limestone base supporting a bronze howitzer, accompanied by four detailed soldier statues at each corner point.
The memorial, completed in 1925, commemorates 49,076 Royal Artillery soldiers who died in World War I, with additional plaques added for 29,924 World War II casualties.
Charles Sargeant Jagger's design broke traditional memorial conventions by incorporating realistic depictions of warfare, including the representation of a fallen soldier.
The memorial stands at a major intersection near Hyde Park, with accessible pathways and information panels explaining its military and architectural significance.
The structure combines Portland limestone with bronze elements, featuring a precisely scaled replica of a 9.2-inch howitzer mounted on the central pedestal.
