Under the title " Wayside Sculpture in France" the Manchester
Guardian last Saturday published the photograph of a most remark- able bas-relief. It is a monument to the 363rd Regiment, stanfs by the woodaide " in the Moselle Country," and is apparently the work of a sculptor now in the French Army. It represents three soldiers, one of them leading a horse, and one holding his rifle with fixed bayonet, while behind is a very powerfully treated winged female figure bearing some cup or emblem. The figures are eoen only to the knee. The whole group is primitive Greek in feeling. Alas ! the photograph is too small for the sculptor's signature to be legible.
