From the Wikipedia article
The Statue of Sir John Moore is a bronze statue located in George Square in Glasgow. It commemorates the British Army general John Moore of the Napoleonic Wars who was born and raised in the city. He became a national hero following his death during his victory at the Battle of Corunna in 1809. The statue was designed by the English sculptor John Flaxman, a leading figure in the Royal Academy during the Regency era, and was erected in 1819 on a pedestal of Aberdeen granite. It stands nearby the Scott Monument and a statue of another noted military commander Lord Clyde. In 1966 it was given Category A listing.
