Angel of Victory, Bronze war memorial at Windsor Station, Montreal, Canada
The seven-foot bronze statue portrays a fallen soldier being lifted to heaven by a female angel with extended wings at Windsor Station entrance.
The sculpture, commissioned in 1922, honors 1,116 Canadian Pacific Railway employees who died during World War I, with additional inscriptions for World War II casualties.
Created by sculptor Coeur de Lion MacCarthy, this monument represents one of three identical statues placed at railway stations across Canada to commemorate railway workers.
Visitors can observe the memorial inside Windsor Station's entrance lobby from Monday to Friday between 6:30 AM and 9:00 PM, weekends from 8:30 AM.
The Vancouver version of this statue inspired street artist Richard Hambleton to create a 1974 piece replacing the soldier with his self-portrait pierced by paintbrushes.
