Traces of Past Empires

Rifle Brigade Memorial, Westminster, London

The Rifle Brigade, derived from the 95th Rifles of thE Peninsular War, raised 28 battalions in the First World War, and were awarded 10 VCs.

This monument is to my mind very effective since a rifleman of the Great War is flanked by his comrades of the Napoleonic era.
