ABOUT
Vernon March (1891–1930) was a British sculptor renowned for his monumental works commemorating war heroes. Born in Kingston upon Hull, he moved to London with his family, where he became the youngest exhibitor at the Royal Academy of Arts at age 16 with his sculpture "Psyche" . Despite lacking formal training, March's talent led to significant commissions, including the Cape Town Cenotaph, the Samuel de Champlain Monument in Ontario, and the Diamond War Memorial in Derry. His most notable work, the National War Memorial of Canada, was completed posthumously by his siblings after his death from pneumonia at 38 .
