Memorials




They Had No Choice, it says on the Animals in War Memorial in Park Lane. Not that many of the fighting men had very much choice, either. Mr Cooper may have had more choice than most, and he made it from lieutenant to captain and lived to the age of 20. The Rush of Green is the last sculpture by Epstein and stands outside the Household Cavalry's barracks on Carriage Drive. It rushes from the fashionable shops and houses of Knightsbridge toward the green space of Hyde Park.
