Imperial Camel Corps Memorial

The Imperial Camel Corps Memorial is an outdoor sculpture commemorating the Imperial Camel Corps, located in Victoria Embankment Gardens, on the Thames Embankment to the east of Charing Cross station, in London, England.

The unit of mounted infantry was created in December 1916 from troops that had served in the Gallipoli campaign in the Dardanelles.

The memorial was sculpted by Major Cecil Brown, who served in the Corps, with bronze elements cast by A.B.

Below the bronze plaque, the north face of the stone plinth bears a dedication: To the Glorious and Immortal // Memory of the Officers, N.C.O.s and Men // of the Imperial Camel Corps – British, // Australian, New Zealand, Indian – who fell in action or died of wounds // and disease in Egypt, Sinai, and Palestine, 1916, 1917, 1918.

[2]The south face is inscribed with a list of the engagements of the Corps: Lieutenant-General Sir Philip Chetwode, who was the first commander of the Desert Mounted Corps, unveiled the memorial on 22 July 1921.
