Statue of the Viscount Montgomery, Military memorial statue in Whitehall, United Kingdom
The Statue of the Viscount Montgomery is a bronze memorial in Whitehall depicting the Field Marshal in military uniform. Sculptor Oscar Nemon created this work, which stands in front of the Ministry of Defence building.
The memorial was unveiled in 1980 to commemorate leadership during World War II. The subject's greatest success came at the Battle of El Alamein, where he became a key figure in British military history.
The statue stands among other military figures in Whitehall, showing how Britain honors its wartime commanders in public spaces. The bronze figure represents a leader whose decisions shaped the course of major battles.
The memorial stands directly next to the Defence building and is easy to reach on foot. The location provides accessible viewing of the work and the inscriptions on the plinth.
The plinth carries detailed inscriptions listing titles and positions held from 1942 to 1948. These engravings document the various roles held during a period of major military shifts.
