This was a sculpture I found inside Worcester Cathedral erected in memory of Colonel Sir Henry Walton Ellis, K.C.B. He lost his life on 20th June 1815 in the battle of Waterloo under the command of Wellington. He was just 32 years of age. Standing in front of this sculpture I felt in awe of the artist who sculptured this in his memory, and felt it portrayed 'that moment' visually and movingly.
