William Powell enlisted in the Army in November 1848 and was discharged as a sergeant in October 1857. He wears the Crimea War Medal with four clasps, indicating that he was present at the battles of the Alma, Balaklava, Inkerman and the Siege of Sevastopol. He wears the 1855 pattern double-breasted tunic and is armed with the new Enfield Rifle Musket.
In July 1856, at the Crimean War's end, troops gathered in Aldershot for a London victory parade. Powell was among the soldiers photographed in Aldershot by Robert Howlett and Joseph Cundall for their series of portraits entitled 'Crimean Heroes 1856'.
The statue can be fitted with an optional engraved jewellers brass plate at no extra cost.
In an effort to be more sustainable we've had our outer packaging redesigned to be fully recyclable. Every statue comes in a simple elegant printed brown box with printed fabric tape.
Inside the box the statue will be protected with bubble wrap and special foam bags to minimise the chance of damage in transit.

All our statues include the option of a personalised engraved plaque on the wooden base, at no extra charge.
Bronze statues come with a jeweller’s brass plate
Pewter/silver statues come with a nickel silver plate

Once ordered, please check your confirmation email to make sure your plaque text has gone through.
If it’s missing, it means it didn’t go through - you can either wait for us to get in touch or just email us your engraving directly at sales@balwalk.com.
Double-check your engraving before sending - any mistakes will mean we need to make a new plate.
Text will be centre-aligned and sized to fit the plaque.
We offer 3D cap badges that can be added to the sculpture base or onto the plaque itself.
If we don’t have a 3D version of the badge you want, we can engrave it directly onto the plaque instead.
