"As the memorial is erected to the men who died in the service of their country, and who in their suffering displayed the greatest qualities human nature is capable of- strength, nobility, dignity and fortitude in the face of death-I felt that I must endeavour to suggest to the beholder, and particularly to the generations that come after, that nobility and fortitude in suffering which so characterised our dead. That is what I intended my figure to convey, hoping that the passer-by in the days to come may read in the quiet calm resignation of the figure the great ideals for which it stands, and for which his ancestors died. And so perhaps inspire in him a great determination to emulate, if need be, the glory of those great souls who went before him.
To give the figure a closer connection with the Great War I decided to use the helmet for Britannia (or the Navy), the sword and shield for the Army, and the wings (on the helmet) for the Royal Air Force. The laurel wreath and the figure in an attitude of mourning represent victory through suffering. The scales in the mouth of the lion on the shield mean victory combined with justice." Charles Sargeant Jagger (sculptor)
