Tomb of Lieutenant Rex Moir (died 1915) and Sir Ernest William Moir (1862-1933)

This is a tomb located in Brookwood Cemetery, commemorating Lieutenant Rex Moir, who died in 1915, and Sir Ernest William Moir (1862-1933). The monument, dating from the early 20th century, features a bronze figure of Peace holding an olive branch, placed upon a stylised Ionic column. The column has a relief portrait of Lieutenant Rex Moir within a laurel wreath. The monument sits on a tapering plinth, which in turn stands on a two-stepped base. The sculptor was Lilian Wade. Sir Ernest Moir was a noted engineer responsible for significant works including the Blackwall and Hudson River Tunnels and the Forth Bridge’s cantilevers. The tomb is set within a glade of evergreen trees and represents a fine example of an early 20th-century memorial, exhibiting high-quality sculptural detailing in a Baroque style.
