The Crimean War Memorial is a monument on Waterloo Place, at the junction of Lower Regent Street and Pall Mall. It was erected in memory of 2152 officers, non-commissioned offices and privates of the Brigade of Guards who fell in the war with Russia in 1854-56, by their comrades. When the Crimean War Memorial was first unveiled, it consisted of the statues of three Guards Men and a female allegorical figure called Honour. The statues were cast by John Bell from bronze from the cannons captured in the siege of Sebastopol.
In 1914, the Guards' Memorial was removed to make room for the statues of Florence Nightingale and Sidney Herbert, head of the War Office during the war. These statues were designed by John Henry Foley and Arthur George Walker. From then on, the allegorical figure was referred to as Victory.
