Leeds War Memorial, War memorial at Victoria Square, Leeds, England
The memorial features a marble obelisk crowned by a bronze angel of peace holding roses, with sculptures of peace and Saint George on opposing sides.
Initially placed in City Square in 1922, the memorial moved to Victoria Square in 1937 due to traffic changes and underwent repairs during World War II.
The monument includes inscriptions in Latin and English on each face, commemorating soldiers who died in both World Wars with messages of honor and remembrance.
The memorial stands near Leeds Town Hall and City Art Gallery, with multiple public transportation options available for visitors approaching from any direction.
Leeds owls, the city's heraldic symbols, adorn the corners of the memorial, connecting the structure to local identity through architectural elements.
