69. "Police Memorial" and "The Glorious Dead", The Great War Memorial of Calcutta, crossing of Red Road and Mayo Road, Kolkata, West Bengal - India @ Humayunn N A Peerzaada
Kolkata

The Police Memorial:

In memory of Police personnel killed on duty during the period from 1st September, 2008 to 31st August, 2009.

The Glorious Dead/The Great War Memorial of Calcutta

The Great War Memorial of Calcutta is built of sandstone blocks and its commemorates those Calcutta British who gave their lives for King and Country between 1914 and 1918.

The inscription on the eastern side of the monument is the legend, "The Glorious Dead". Architect: Herbert William Palliser. The original brass plaques bearing the names of the fallen have been removed and can now be seen inside St John's Church.

All of the names recorded on those plaques are British names; clearly this was an Anglo-Indian monument and not an Indian monument - whose war dead who are commemorated in a separate memorial to the Indian Lascars of Bengal and Assam near Princep's Ghat and the Bengalee War Memorial in College Square.
