Oshinowo Studio has unveiled a memorial commissioned by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission to honor the Sierra Leone Carrier Corps, who played a crucial role during World War I. This new design seeks to rectify past omissions from the existing Freetown Memorial, originally designed in 1930. The memorial features a glass prism structure over the original podium, with the names of 946 servicemen etched into its glass, symbolizing their contributions. This poignant tribute reflects the importance of proper commemoration and recognition of non-combatant soldiers from Africa during the war.
The new memorial design by Oshinowo Studio, commissioned by the CWGC, aims to honor the fallen of the Sierra Leone Carrier Corps in World War I.
Oshinowo's design integrates a glass prism to illuminate the memorial, ensuring recognition of the Carrier Corps soldiers who have long been overlooked.
