Memorial statue to Edith Cavell, executed for helping British soldiers in Belgium reach neutral Netherlands. She was executed by firing squad in Brussels, Belgium on October 12, 1915. Sited in St. Martin's Place, London, the pedestal on which her statue stands is placed before a column, square at the base and rounded above her head. On the four sides of the lower column are the words 'Humanity,' 'Sacrifice,' 'Devotion,' 'Fortitude.' The inscription on the front of the pedestal reads: 'Edith Cavell Brussels Dawn October 12th 1915 Patriotism is not enough. I must have no hatred or bitterness for anyone.' The quotation is from her conversation with the English chaplain, Mr. Gahan, who was with her before her execution. At the top of the column a mother and child replace the top of a cross. Below them is a shield reading 'For King and Country.' The memorial was designed by Sir George Frampton. |
