Wojtek

Wojtek
On 16 September 2013, the City of Edinburgh Council approved the erection of a bronze statue of Wojtek, by Alan Beattie Herriot, to stand in the city's Princes Street Gardens. Unveiled on 7 November 2015, it presents Wojtek and a fellow Polish Army soldier walking together. A 4-meter (five-foot-long) relief documents Wojtek's journey from Egypt to Scotland with the Polish Army. Quoted from Wikipedia.
