  • 31 July 2014
    31st July 2014 - Gavin Stamp & Jon Wright Introduction. The United Kingdom National Inventory of War Memorials, (UKNIWM) now has over 60,000 sites on its database and the number continues to grow each year. The variety and diversity of them is staggering. Today, we are going to look at twenty or so C20th/21st London memorials chosen to show the range of artistic responses to commemoration, both after major conflict and more recently, to address retrospective concerns about the lack of monuments to various groups. When our previous chairman Gavin Stamp curated the Silent Cities exhibition at the Heinz Gallery in 1977, there were many who thought it wrong to focus in on the ‘art’ of war memorials, as if in some way that in so doing, one would be ignoring, or at least lessening their importance as sites of remembrance. We are still to fully understand the architectural significance of the huge number of sites built by Lutyens, Herbert Baker, Charles Holden and others, but as Gavin has continued to show through his foreign trips and publications, the building programme for overseas cemeteries and domestic memorials easily eclipsed any public works undertaking before or since. The C20 Society looks at memorials rather differently than the vital organisations set up to document, conserve and care for memorial sites specifically. The War Memorials Trust, whose conservation work remains vitally important to the upkeep of UK memorials is foremost among these groups. English Heritage have listed a significant amount of memorials, and like us, they do judge the monuments for architectural and artistic significance, while bearing in mind the inherent importance of the sites in a social and historic context.

Attached is an image of the sculptor and two of his assistants taking tea inside the huge plaster mould for one of the horses, which give a very real view of just how large these sculptures were and how difficult to cast in bronze. His other public works include an equestrian statue of Prince George, Duke of Cambridge at Whitehall, and the Royal Marines National Memorial at St James's Park, London. His works do not often come up for sale and this sculpture, probably a plaster maquette for a bronze that was either never cast or since lost, represents a rare opportunity to purchase a relatively inexpensive work by this renowned and respected British sculptor. Why Not was ridden by Arthur Nightingall in the 1894 Grand National, and owned by Captain C Fenwick.

  • South African War Memorial
    Heritage of the City of Adelaide SOUTH AFRICAN WAR MEMORIAL Corner North Terrace and King William Road The South African War Memorial is a magnificent equestrian statue displaying the sculptor's great knowledge of equine anatomy, form and action. Upon the unveiling of the 'spirited horse and his stalwart rider' on 7 June 1904 the Advertiser reported the next day that the South African War Memorial: . bears witness in imperishable bronze to the desire of the people of South Australia to keep for ever green the memory of those who fought and died for their country in the South African veldt. This important statue is associated with the state's involvement in the Boer War, particularly the South Australian Bushmen's Corps. It is also a testament to the sentiments of the people of South Australia whose spontaneous monetary generosity towards a fitting memorial reflected the desire to remember the fifty-nine officers and men who lost their lives. Sixteen thousand volunteers from Australia took part in the war that lasted between October 1899 and June 1902. Nine contingents totalling eighty officers, 1449 men and 1507 horses were shipped from South Australia. It is believed Mr J.C. F. Johnson first proposed an equestrian monument in July 1901. At a meeting held in the banqueting room of the Adelaide Town Hall in August 1901, a general committee was formed to raise £3000 by a variety of fund raising schemes. Activities got under way only one month later when two returned soldiers of the first South Australian contingent took a lecture tour round the mid-north of the state.

It is therefore unsurprising that historians have failed to discover unambiguous regional identities in the past. However, this article investigates one possible exception in a case study of a peripheral English region. Adopting concepts of narrative, discourse and rhetoric, it examines the discursive moments and rhe- torical strategies of spatial identity in nineteenth-century Cornwall. Evidence of a tentative regionalism is marshalled in order to reflect on the usefulness of social scientific approaches to discourse and rhetoric for understanding a specific place identity of late nineteenth-century England.
