Equestrian statue of Ferdinand Foch, Military monument in Lower Grosvenor Gardens, London, England.
The bronze equestrian statue depicts Marshal Ferdinand Foch mounted on a horse, standing atop a Portland stone pedestal measuring 3.85 meters in height.
French sculptor Georges Malissard created this replica of his 1928 Cassel statue, which was unveiled by the Prince of Wales in June 1930.
The statue commemorates Marshal Foch's role as Supreme Commander of Allied Forces during World War I and his subsequent appointment as British Field Marshal.
Located near Victoria Station, the monument stands in a French-style garden that underwent redesign after World War II and received dedication in 1952.
The selection of a French artist sparked controversy, with British officials expressing concerns about the £5,000 cost and preference for a local sculptor.
