Vernon March (1891-1930)Born in Yorkshire in 1875, March was the second of six brothers who with their sister, set up a sculpture studio at Goddendene, Kent, in 1901. Each sibling brought their specialty to a unique private foundry; Walter (1888-1954) supervised technicalities of casting and carving, Dudley (1885-1962) finished off the patination on bronzes, while Sydney, Vernon (1891-1930) and Elsie (1883-1974) were the main sculptors. Vernon is chiefly remembered for his war memorials. He created at Londonderry memorial, the Cenotaph at Capetown, South Africa, and the Canadian National War Memorial at Ottawa, unveiled 1939. Vernon died unexpectedly of pneumonia in 1930 leaving his siblings to complete his major works.
