W1, Hyde Park Corner

The memorial was originally erected in 1925 next to Grosvenor Place (the road entering this traffic hell from the south), but was dismantled in 1945 due to roadworks. It was rededicated in its present location in 1963. The statue is flanked by two real Vickers machine guns, encased in bronze and laurel-wreathed.
