We have received an illustrated pamphlet describing the monu- ment
erected at Aldershot in memory of Lieutenant Roy Maurice Ozowski, the young officer who died while doing duty with his regiment, the Queen's Own Rifles of Canada, when it was in England in 1910. The monument was designed by Mrs. G. F. Watts and executed in terra cotta by her Potter's Art Guild at Compton, the symbolical statuettes and the figure of Lieutenant Growski being modelled by Mr. Russell Davey. This figure appears from the illustration to be highly successful in treat- ment, and shows the young soldier as he kneels to lay down his sword in obedience to a higher command. It is interesting to know that this work, executed in a material so suitable to our climate and surroundings, was produced at a cost of seventy pounds. It is to be hoped that this example may be followed elsewhere, and that people wishing to erect a worthy monument may call in tho services of the Guild.
