Birnie. Philip's base is flanked by four lions and an inscription on the north side of the memorial reads:

In memory of those who studied at Westminster School who died in the Russian and Indian wars of 1854-59 on the battlefield or wounded or sick, some were still young, some full years of honor and honors, but all gave their lives for their country. This column was erected by their former classmates as a sign of sorrow for their loss, of pride for their worth and with the assurance that the memory of their heroism in life and death will inspire their successors at Westminster to the same courage and courage. to the same devotion.

"La statue au sommet, sculptée par JR Clayton , représente St George terrassant le dragon. On y trouve également des statues de saint Édouard le Confesseur, d'Henri III, d'Élisabeth Ire et de la reine Victoria, sculptées par J. Birnie Philip. Sa base est flanquée de quatre lions. Une inscription sur le côté nord du mémorial se lit comme suit:

À la mémoire de ceux qui ont fait leurs études à la Westminster School et qui sont morts dans les guerres russes et indiennes de 1854 à 1859 sur le champ de bataille ou de blessures ou de maladies, certains étaient encore jeunes, certains pleins d'années d'honneur et d'honneurs, mais qui ont tous donné leur vie pour leur pays. Cette colonne a été érigée par leurs anciens camarades de classe en signe de chagrin pour leur perte, de fierté pour leur valeur et avec l'assurance que le souvenir de leur héroïsme dans la vie et la mort inspirera leurs successeurs à Westminster au même courage et à la même dévotion.
