The London and North Western Railway War Memorial is a First World War memorial outside Euston station in London, England. The memorial was designed by Reginald Wynn Owen and commemorates employees of the London and North Western Railway (LNWR) who were killed in the First World War. Over 37,000 employees of the LNWR fought in the war, of whom 3,719 were killed. The memorial cost £12,500 and consists of a single 13-metre (43-foot) tall obelisk on a pedestal. At the top, on each side, is a cross in relief and a bronze wreath. At each corner of the base is an over-life-size statue of a military figure—an artilleryman, an infantryman, a sailor, and an airman. Field Marshal Earl Haig unveiled the memorial on 21 October 1921, accompanied by the Archbishop of Canterbury with over 8,000 people attending. The memorial and two entrance lodges are all that remain of the former Euston station complex, as it was rebuilt in the 1960s. The memorial is a grade II* listed building. (Full article...)
