Beautifully created and crafted sculpture which serves as a fitting tribute to the fallen heroes of the Duke of Wellington's Regiment in West Yorkshire. Really nice setting with it being at the top of the incline, it looks very imposing and dramatic. Hopefully people will understand the sacrifices that have been spent down the years and we will never see another World War anymore as War is just a failure of diplomacy.
A fine memorial to the Duke of wellingtons regiment service to the country over 300 years
A grand and detailed memorial, not far from the historic Borough Market. The 18ft tall memorial incorporates several soldier figures spanning different eras from the regiment's history. Unveiled in 2019 by the 9th Duke of Wellington. Sculptor: Andrew Sinclair. It even includes an elephant, said the elephantile, ha.
An interesting memorial with lots of fine details. It adds some flair to the town, and serves as a nice entrance piece to the Woolshops.
