The Royal Airforce Memorial:
Northumberland Avenue connects the square with the Victoria Embankment which follows the Thames to the east. Follow the Embankment south to the statue of Viscount Portal of Hungerford, Air Marshal Charles F. A. Portal, Chief of Air Staff 1939-1945. The sculpture by Oscar Nemon stands in front of the Defence Ministry. The Royal Air Force Memorial, crowned by Sir William Reid Dick's gilt eagle, faces the Thames a bit further down. A memorial to General Wingate's Chindit Special Force, commandos who fought the Japanese in Burma, stands in front of the Canon Row police station. A mythical Burmese dragon, a Chindit, sculpt by Frank Forster, roars defiance from atop the monument.
