Légende

Statue of Sir James M'Grigor, Bart., K.C.B., late Director-General, Army Medical Department, by M. Noble, erected at Chelsea Barracks, 1865. 'The statue...is admirable, both as a work of art and as a faithful and pleasing likeness. We may also congratulate the committee on having secured for it a most appropriate site, fronting the newly-erected barracks of the Guards at Chelsea...where it will fitly perpetuate the memory of one whose whole life was spent in the service of the soldier, and whose aim and reward was the simple performance of his duty...and stimulate, we trust, younger men to walk in the same path'. James McGrigor, Scottish physician, military surgeon and botanist, was considered to be the man largely responsible for the creation of the Royal Army Medical Corps. From "Illustrated London News", 1865.
