Horlicks War Memorial, Slough

The Horlicks War Memorial is a stone memorial from 1949, featuring a sculpture titled 'Grief' by Sir William Reid Dick. It is located in the grounds of the Horlicks factory in Slough.

The memorial is positioned to the south-east of the car park and north of the factory's main reception. Its stone base is designed as a simplified classical pedestal with a moulded base and head. The pedestal has a battered profile, tapering in size through three stepped bands as it rises to the upper moulding. It is set upon four stone steps, with the first two steps forming a circular shape and the upper two being square.

On the south side, the main dedicatory inscription reads 'LEST WE FORGET'. Below this, a subsidiary inscription states 'HORLICKS WAR MEMORIAL/TO THOSE WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES/IN THE WARS OF/1914-1918 1939-1945'. The other sides of the memorial list the names, ranks, and countries of two family members and 23 Horlicks employees who lost their lives in the First or Second World War.

The bronze statue is life-sized, depicting a tall, barefoot female figure draped in a long shawl. Her face is tilted downward, expressing grief as she holds the shawl to her lips with her left hand.
