About the memorial: Angel sculpture holding a wreath above her head. She stands on a tall column with a cross & wreath on its front face with an inscription. Memorial stands in formal park area near lake. This monument by sculptor Francis William Doyle consists of a bronze female figure with outspread wings standing on a globe and holding out a wreath with both hands. A symbol of Peace Crowning the Heroes, she is dressed in an elaborate, windswept chiton, the lower part of which flutters energetically behind; only her feet and shoulders are exposed. The pink granite cenotaph is designed as a tall, slender obelisk with projecting side piers and a pulvinated roll on the upper stage and with a sword entwined with a wreath carved on the topmost block on the front east face. The wreath is identical to the one held by the figure.Following the Great War he won a number of commissions for English War memorials, such as, Sutton Coldfield (1922) and Northfleet Cement Works, Gravesend. The Partick and Whiteinch is his only known Scottish memorial. The memorial bears many similarities with the one he produced for Brighouse, Yorkshire (1922), Cockermouth in Cumbria and his South African War Memorial in Saltwell Park, Gateshead (1905).
