Statue of Henry Havelock, Trafalgar Square

A bronze statue of Henry Havelock by the sculptor William Behnes,[1] stands in Trafalgar Square in London, United Kingdom.

[2] The bronze statue depicts Major General Sir Henry Havelock KCB as a standing figure in military uniform, with a cloak.

He recaptured Cawnpore and Lucknow during the Indian Mutiny in 1857, shortly before he died of dysentery.

[4] In 1936, it was suggested that the statues of Generals Havelock and Napier in Trafalgar Square should be replaced by statues of Admirals Beatty and Jellicoe, the naval commanders at the Battle of Jutland in 1916, but a place was eventually found for bronze busts of the Edwardian admirals (and later for Admiral Cunningham) against the north wall of the square, without removing the statues of the Victorian generals from their plinths.

In 2000, the Mayor of London Ken Livingstone suggested that the statues of Havelock and General Charles James Napier should be removed from Trafalgar Square, because he had no idea who they were.
