Gurkha Memorial, London - stock photo

Close up of the inscription on the Memorial to the Brigade of Gurkhas on Horse Guards Avenue, Whitehall, London. When Queen Elizabeth II unveiled it in 1997, it was the first time that Gurkha soldiers were honoured with a memorial in the United Kingdom, and it coincided with the relocation of their headquarters and training centre from Hong Kong to London in 1997. The statue was sculpted by Philip Jackson, based on a 1924 statue by Richard Reginald Goulden in the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, and the plinth was the work of Cecil Denny Highton.
