The equestrian statue of George Stuart White is a Grade II listed outdoor bronze sculpture depicting Field Marshal Sir George Stuart White, an officer of the British Army, located in Portland Place, London, England.[1] The sculptor was John Tweed and the statue was unveiled in 1922.[1]
An inscription on each side of the plinth reads:[2][3]
