About the memorial: Memorial to firefighters form the Blitz and Second World War. Erected in 1991 and moved in 2003 when it was rededicated as the national firefighters memorial. Sculptor: John Mills -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- City of London West Walk: The Firefighters Memorial Charitable Trust was set up in 1990 to provide a memorial to their brave men who died in WWII. In 2003 it was raised in height and rededicated, to include those lost in peacetime as well, by HRH The Princess Royal and became known as the Firefighters National Memorial. Around 1200 names were added in bronze to the plinth. The sculptor, John W Mills, also sculpted the Women of WWII memorial in Whitehall. Note how this sculpture captures the intensity and effort involved in fighting a serious fire in the war. It could have been one in the Blitz which surrounded St Pauls in the smoke and chaos of the wreck and ruin during an attack. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Route:
