Summary edit
| Description |
English: Glasgow: Lord Roberts memorial, Kelvingrove Park A monument to Lord Frederick Sleigh Roberts, V.C. (1832-1914), depicting Roberts on the Arab charger 'Volonel'. It was made by Henry Poole and is a replica of a piece by Harry Bates which stands in Calcutta.
The text on this side of the statue reads: "Indian Mutiny Umbeyla Abyssinia Lushai Afghanistan Burmah South Africa I seem to see the gleam in the near distance of the weapons and accoutrements of this Army of the future, this Citizen Army the wonder of these islands, and the pledge of peace and of the continued greatness of this Empire." After fighting in the Boer War, Lord Roberts became Commander-In-Chief of the British Army, and also won the Victoria Cross. Roberts became a hero at the height of the British Empire, when the Army fought many battles in India, Africa and the Middle East. The statue was erected in 1915 and his speech, on the eve of World War I, is that inscribed here. |
