EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the Monument to the Royal Fusiliers (City of London Regiment) who fell in the Great War, located in High Holborn, London. Erected in 1925, the monument stands as a poignant tribute to the 3,656 soldiers of the Royal Fusiliers who lost their lives during the First World War. The statue, designed by Sir William Reid Dick, depicts a soldier in full uniform, holding a wreath and gazing off into the distance, symbolizing the sacrifice and enduring spirit of those who served. The monument is a significant historical landmark in the city of London, and serves as a reminder of the profound impact of the war on the lives of countless individuals and families. The inscription on the base of the monument reads, "In Gratitude and Memory of the Officers, Warrant Officers, Non-Commissioned Officers and Men of the Royal Fusiliers (City of London Regiment) who fell in the Great War 1914-1918." The monument is a popular destination for visitors and locals alike, particularly during the annual Remembrance Day ceremonies, when wreaths are laid in honor of the fallen soldiers. The monument stands as a testament to the enduring legacy of the Royal Fusiliers and the sacrifices made during the Great War, a period of history that continues to shape the world we live in today.
