| Description |
English: The Maiwand Lion, Forbury Gardens A sculpture by George Blackall Simonds that commemorates the valour of the 354 men of the 66th Berkshire Regiment who gave their lives during the second Anglo-Afghan war, 1879-80. The biggest loss of life was at the Battle of Maiwand. "History does not afford any grander or finer instance of gallantry and devotion to Queen and Country than that displayed by the 66th Regiment at the Battle of Maiwand on 27th July 1880."
