His primary focus was portrait busts and other sculptures of British royalty and contemporary figures, as well as war memorials.
The second-born of eight artists in his family, he and his siblings completed the National War Memorial of Canada after the death of their brother Vernon March in 1930, who had created the winning design.
Among his many commissions, Sydney March also made a memorial to United Empire Loyalists, which was erected in 1929 in Hamilton, Ontario.
[16] In 1900, the Royal Academy Schools awarded Sydney March first prize, a silver medal, for a model of a statue or group.
He exhibited a total of seventeen works at the Royal Academy, primarily portrait busts, statuettes, and equestrian statues.
[6][38] Vernon March's design included bronze figures of Victory and Liberty on top of a granite arch.
The monument includes 22 bronze figures under the arch, representing the branches of the Canadian forces during World War I.
[38] After construction of the arch and preparation of the surrounding area, the National War Memorial of Canada was unveiled by King George VI on 21 May 1939.
[38] One of the first major pieces on which the March family collaborated was the Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers South African War Memorial.
[40] It was initially positioned on High Street in Omagh, County Tyrone, where it was unveiled by the Duchess of Abercorn on 25 November 1904.
[43][44] The war memorial features a central obelisk of Portland stone, upon which an angel representing Victory is perched, her arms raised, one hand holding a laurel wreath.
Other bronze angels sit at the base of the monument; adjacent shields list the names of the deceased soldiers of World War I.
[47] Most of the members of the March family, including parents George and Elizabeth, are interred at Saint Giles the Abbot Churchyard in Farnborough, Kent.
A black-and-white, silent movie was filmed in 1924 that explored the March artists at work in their studios at Goddendene.
[50] In April 2011, the Chelsfield Village Voice, the monthly newsletter for the village of Chelsfield in the London Borough of Bromley, reported a recent talk on the March family of artists by local historian and author Paul Rason at the area historical society.
He had photographs of the March family home of Goddendene, and images of the bronze figures of the National War Memorial of Canada.
