This lifesize bronze sculpture stands at 6ft. It was unveilled in 2011 as a commission from the Irish Guards and was sculpted by a former paratrooper of the squadron. It was made to honour the 1st Battalion who fought for the Irish Guards. The sculpture is highly detailed and depicts a male figure of a soldier in full uniform carrying a gun. Unveiled by Maj Gen Cubitt, he spoke of the statue: "This fine-looking guardsman is on the fringe of the battlefield, weary from action, but poised, ready to see through an untold mission."   This object is part of "Scan The World".
