"Trained in the conventions of the late nineteenth century, Gilbert Ledward (1888-1960) adhered to representational values suited to public commemorative projects.
"The first artist to win a scholarship in sculpture to the British School at Rome, and a soldier in the First world War, he was a sought after sculptor of war memorials. His figurative designs of those that fought remain evocative of the Great War and its cost. The Guard's Division Memorial at Horse Guards Parade (1922-25) is his most prominent work in London and he designed sculpture for the imperial War Graves Commission Memorial to the Missing at Ploegsteert, Belgium (1926-29)."
"Professor of Sculpture at the Royal College of Art, elected to the Royal Academy in 1937 and a President of the RBS, Ledward was an outspoken member of the art establishment."
