Cambridge War Memorial, War memorial and Grade II listed building in Cambridge, England
The seven-foot bronze statue depicts a soldier from the Cambridgeshire Regiment walking with a rifle over his shoulder, looking back toward the railway station.
The memorial, unveiled by the Duke of York in July 1922, stands as a tribute to the men from Cambridgeshire and Isle of Ely who served in World War I.
The sculpture's design, created by R. Tait McKenzie, represents a soldier carrying roses, symbolizing the connection between those who returned and those who did not.
The memorial stands outside the Cambridge University Botanic Garden entrance on Hills Road, following its relocation in 2012 from its previous Station Road position.
The statue's head, modeled after Kenneth Hamilton from Christ's College, initially consisted of gilded plaster before the final bronze version was installed.
