This statue of George Washington is in Trafalgar Square and is a replica of Jean Antoine Houdon's marble statue in Virgina. It was 1924 gift from the Commonwealth of Virginia.... butbecause Washington had vowed never to set foot again on British soil... the sculpture was set on soil brought from Virginia.
Washington was, of course, not only the military commander of the Americans in the Revolutionary War, but also became the first President of the new country when the war was over.
