Known as the Kultur Panel, an unusual panel of figures attacking a group of mostly women and children. The inscription above reads, 'The Valour of German Culture 1914'. The attackers are said to be German soldiers and the figures represent Belgian civilians. The panel was erected in 1915 to represent apparent German atrocities during the First World War.
The panel was designed in terracotta, now painted, by a William Baxter who according to a news report from the Leith Observer of 3rd July 1915, Mr Baxter had 'executed copies of the panel for England and Ireland'.
