The statue of Florence Nightingale in Waterloo Place, Westminster, with a veteran of the Crimean War and children. Drawing by John Byam Shaw. Wellcome Collection. Public Domain Mark. Source: Wellcome Collection.
The statue is shown here in isolation from the Crimea Memorial in Waterloo Place. It was "not ... formally part of the Crimean Memorial. It was commissioned by the Royal College of Nursing in 1912, and designed to stand beside the statue of Sidney Herbert, Nightingale's co-worker in army medical reform, which had been moved from its former position outside the old War Office in Pall Mall (now the site of the Royal Automobile Club). ... Nightingale's memorial commemorates her nursing achievements throughout a long career of public health reform, not just her battles to bring order to the chaos of the hospitals at Scutari and Balaclava"--Mark Bostridge in the Times literary supplement, 11 May 2007, p. 5.
