Statue of John Fox Burgoyne

The statue of Sir John Fox Burgoyne is a Grade II listed statue on the western flank of Waterloo Place in central London. A work of the sculptor Joseph Edgar Boehm, it was unveiled in 1877. It is one of several statues on the street. John Fox Burgoyne was a British Army Officer who served in the Peninsular and Crimean War, later becoming a Field Marshal in 1869. The statue's inscription includes a quotation from Shakespeare's Coriolanus, "How youngly he began to serve his country, how long continued", reflecting Burgoyne's extensive career in the army, serving just shy of seven decades.
