Description
The Knutsford Centennial War Memorial is a private memorial statue created in 1919. It was relocated in the 1930s and again in 1977, before being installed on its current black granite plinth in 2018. The statue was designed and sculpted by Sir William Hamo Thornycroft and cast by the Albion Art Foundry Ltd.
The life-size bronze figure stands at 1.72 meters tall and depicts Haron Baronian in military service dress, advancing with his rifle slung over his right shoulder. He is surveying the landscape, with his left hand raised to shade his eyes. The front face of the bronze base is inscribed with the words "PRO PATRIA." The left face bears the inscription "HARON BARONIAN/ KILLED IN ACTION/ IN MESOPOTAMIA/ 1917." The right face is signed "HAMO THORNYCROFT RA/ SC 1918," while the rear face is inscribed with "ALBION ART FOUNDRY LTD/ PARSONS GREEN/ SW."
The statue is set on a two-stepped black granite plinth, which dates from 2018 and features additional war memorial inscriptions.
