The statue, a gift of the Canadian people, was unveiled to the public in 1930. The statue features Major General James Wolfe, an English general who fought in the French and Indian War, a war that took place between 1754-1763 between Great Britain and France over the territories of "New France" (the areas in North America controlled by France). At the end of the fighting, France gave up these territories. Wolff, who was killed during the battles for the liberation of Quebec (Battle of the Plains of Abraham) is considered the father of the British victory and the liberator of Quebec. Wolff’s parents lived near Greenwich Park and he is buried in a nearby church.
On the other side of the base of the statue is the following inscription: (The holes and defects are a result of the bombing of the area in World War II) THIS MONUMENT THE GIFT OF THE CANADIAN PEOPLE WAS UNVEILED ON THE FIFTH OF JUNE 1930 BY LE MARQUIS DE MONTCALM.
