Cameronians (Scottish Rifles) War Memorial by Philip Lindsey Clark (1889-1977).
This bronze memorial was unveiled in August 1924 to commemorate members of the Cameronians who fell in the First World War. The sculpture depicts a sergeant “advancing over the top”, symbolising Victory. On his right (not shown in this photograph) is the dead body of a young officer, symbolising Sacrifice. A Lewis gunner (in the foreground) covers the advancing troops with gunfire and, in the words of the artist, shows the “determination to succeed… for which our men were so remarkable”.
n 1947 the inscription was include a commemoration of those who died in the Second World War, and in 1968 a tablet was added to mark the disbandment of the regiment.
