Equestrian statue of Horatio Kitchener, Medway
The statue of Kitchener was originally erected in Kolkata in 1914. It was then relocated to Khartoum in 1920, before being repatriated to Chatham in 1959 after Sudan had declared its independence from Britain. -
Equestrian statue of Hugh Gough
The statue of Gough was originally installed in Phoenix Park in Dublin in 1878. In the mid-twentieth century, the statue became intensely contested: in 1944, it lost its head and sword, followed by its rear leg in 1956. In 1957, the Irish Republican Army (IRA) blew it off its plinth. The statue was kept in storage by the Dublin Corporation, before being sold in 1986 on the condition it left Ireland. It is now currently located at Chillingham Castle in Northumberland. -

Equestrian statue of Redvers Buller, Exeter
Equestrian statue of General Sir Redvers Buller and his horse "Biffen", sculpted by Adrian Jones. The statue was commissioned by the Buller Memorial Committee (established in Exeter in October 1901 after Buller's controversial dismissal from the British Army) and was unveiled in the city in 1905. The statue stands at the junction of Hele Road and New North Road, in between Exeter College and Bury Meadow Park. The statue and its plinth make direct references to Buller's colonial career. The inclusion of Buller's horse Biffen and the line on the plinth, "HE SAVED NATAL", are references to Buller's eventual victory at the relief of Ladysmith on March 1st, 1900 during the Second Boer War of 1899-1902. Other inscriptions on the plinth note the locations where Buller was involved in colonial conflicts, including India, China, Canada, Ashanti (Ghana), Sudan and South Africa. The statue of Buller is unusual in that it is a rare case of an equestrian statue depicting a military general located outside of London. Most statues of this type (which typically depicted either a monarch or a military figure) were usually installed in the metropole at the time, and the statue of Stapleton Cotton in Cheshire is probably the closest artistic counterpart to Buller's statue. Jones had considerable experience in sculpting equestrian statues beforehand, producing works such as Duncan's Horses in 1892 and Persimmon in 1895. -

Equestrian statue of Stapleton Cotton, 1st Viscount Combermere

Equestrian statue of the Black Prince
Although a depiction of Edward, the Black Prince, Historic England describes the equestrian statue as 'almost certainly a tribute to Edward VII'. Though the origins of "The Black Prince" as an appellation for the former Edward are uncertain, the nickname also raises interesting questions about the meanings of blackness in fourteenth century Europe, or indeed how ideas of blackness have been reconfigured in the present. -

Equestrian statue of William III, Bristol
The equestrian statue of William III by John Michael Rysbrack is situated at the centre of Queen's Square, which was home to many Bristol merchants and slave-traders in the eighteenth century. According to Nicola Smith, the city's merchant community and the Society of Merchant Venturers were prominent financial backers of the statue to William, with the Society contributing at least £500 to its erection. The statue was finally unveiled in 1736 amidst the peak of Bristol's involvement in the transatlantic slave trade. -

Monument Victor Schœlcher, Schœlcher
The statue, created by Martinican sculptor Marie-Thérèse Lung Fou (1909-1981), depicts abolitionist Victor Schœlcher standing in full regalia. The refined, sober work of art deco inspiration honors the memory of the abolitionist politician with dignity. The artist breaks with the paternalistic, colonial vision of older monuments, notably those in Fort-de-France and Cayenne. A plaque on the pedestal recalls the decree of the Provisional Government of March 4, 1848: “No French land shall bear slaves any longer. Victor Schœlcher 1804-1893”. -
Nelson Monument, Liverpool

Nelson's Column
Depicts a standing figure of Nelson, on top of a high Corinthina pillar with an elaborate capitol. Nelson is in a dynamic standing posture, wearing eighteenth-century military attire, and holding a sword in his left hand. The sleeve of the amputated arm is tucked into the lapels of the court. The four sides of the pedestal are decorated with four bronze reliefs, created using captured and melted French cannons. The south-facing panel, titled 'The death of Nelson' depicts a soldier with African features, holding a musket. David Olusoga notes how contemporary observers noticed this figure, their African features, and commented on it positively. Four bronze Barbary lions were added to the base of the column much later, in 1867. -
