Something new (1): “La Deliverance”

I love discovering new things or visiting new places in my home city of London where I have lived now for almost 40 years.

This weekend, I stopped for the first time to look at a striking statue that I pass every time I visit close friends Ivan & Ros in Finchley. Amazingly I’ve never before known who created the statue and why.

It’s called “La Deliverance” (or locally “The Naked Lady”) and commemorates the French defeat of the Germans at the Battle of the Marne in the First World War.
