FLORENCE NIGHTINGALE

The statue commemorates Florence Nightingale, who actually laid the foundation for the compassionate nursing profession. When she served as a nurse during the Crimean War in military clinics in Turkey, she improved the sanitary conditions of the clinics. After the war, she worked to improve sanitation conditions in hospitals. She also worked to establish the nursing profession and establish institutions for training brothers and sisters.

The statue, made by Arthur George Walker, was presented in 1915 (during World War I, so no ceremony was held to unveil it).
At the base of the statue there are 4 reliefs depicting events from Nightingale’s life and activities
