Monument of Field Marshal Lord Clyde, by Baron Marochetti, in Waterloo-Place, [London], 1868. Statue of British Army officer Colin Campbell who served in the Peninsular War, the War of 1812, the First Opium War and the Second Anglo-Sikh War. He went on to command the Highland Brigade at the Battle of Alma and with his "thin red line of Highlanders" he repulsed the Russian attack on Balaclava during the Crimean War. At an early stage of the Indian Mutiny, he became Commander-in-Chief, India and, in that role, he relieved and then evacuated Lucknow and, after attacking and decisively defeating Tatya Tope at the Second Battle of Cawnpore, captured Lucknow again. Whilst still commander-in-chief he dealt with the "White Mutiny" among East India Company troops. The statue stands on a cylindrical granite pedestal; on a lower base projecting from this is a Victory seated on a lion. From "Illustrated London News", 1868.
