In the grounds of #StThomasHospital is a tribute to the Jamaican-born British nurse #MarySeacole in honour of her contributions & impact during the 1855 #CrimeanWar. The 1st statue in the UK dedicated to a named black woman, the bronze #Memorial depicts her courage, resilience & defiance, as she marches into the wind towards the battlefield carrying medical supplies #KCLWoman
We mourn their loss this day this year Those now with God, no danger near
So many loved ones left do stand Confronting loss throughout our land
My heart goes out to those who do No one can fathom what they view
I firmly pray for peace of mind
For what must live in infamy
