Lord Buckland is represented in his peer's robes holding his hat in his left hand and his right is hanging loosely with some papers in his hand as he had just delivered a speech. The height of the statue is about eight feet in height, and it stands on a pedestal of Shap granite four feet in height. The bronze was cast, by Mr. A. B. Burton, of Thames Ditton, and the pedestal was executed by Kirkpatrick Ltd., Trafford Park. The inscription carved on the pedestal is "Henry Seymour Berry. Baron Buckland of Bwlch, Honorary of the County Borough of Merthyr Tydfil Born 17th of September 1877, died 23rd of May 1928. Erected by public subscriptions." The lay-out of blue pennant stone with iron railings and mountain turf has been admirably designed by Messrs. Richards and Rees, architects under whose supervision the statue was erected. It has been rightly said that Merthyr paid appropriate tribute to the memory of Lord Buckland of Bwlch last Friday, when Sir John Beale, chairman of Guest, Keen, Baldwin, Ltd. Unveiled the bronze statue in the open space adjoining the Town Hall, and when Lord Camrose opened the new Buckland Memorial Hospital, an imposing addition to the Merthyr General Hospital. The statue the work of Sir W. Geoscience John, R.A., will perpetuate the striking features and physique of his lordship, and the new hospital will keep fragrant memories of his kindly disposition and his constant concern for those less fortunate than himself. Never was the apothegm "Honour to whom honour is due" more appropriate. The dedication of these two memorials testifying the attributes of Lord Buckland as an-outstanding figure among the industrial leaders of his day, and as a princely benefactor of public institutions, took place in the presence of thousands of townspeople, and captains of Industry, and leaders of great enterprises with whom Lord Buckland had been associated in his brilliant career of creative activity. Recollections of the tragic close of Lord Buckland’s career In the height of Its success were naturally present the minds of all, but the uppermost was that of appreciation of the great gifts with which he had been endowed and of gratitude for the beneficent way in which his lordship had shared the outcome of those gifts with the community, more particularly in his native town which he loved so well. Unveiling of the Statue. The immediate relatives present at the unveiling ceremony were, the Hon.

Then followed the reading of the 13th chapter of St. Paul's Epistle to the Coninthians by the Rev. J.

R.A., then asked Sir John Field Beale, K.B.E., Lord Buckland’s successor in the chairmanship of Messrs. Guest, Keen and Baldwin, Ltd., to unveil the statue. As Sir John stepped forward every head was borne, and tears fell from the eyes of many persons when the covering was removed. Sir John then said: "I am honoured to have been permitted to unveil this fine statue of Henry Seymour Berry, Baron Buckland of Bwlch. In doing so I represent probably over 100,000 individuals’ workpeople, shareholders, managers, and directors of the great firm of Guest, Keen and Nettlefolds and its associated companies, every one of whom would individually desire to join will all of you today in doing honour to the memory of their late chairman who led and served them so well. It is eminently right (proceeded Sir John), that this memorial to him should stand for all time in his native town, to be an inspiration to future generations, to remind them that industry, intelligence and integrity lead to the highest positions, and that success should always be accompanied by service to one's fellow man. In Lord Buckland, all the best qualities of manhood were combined to an extraordinary degree. Neighbours and fellow citizens can recount numberless acts of generosity and thoughtful care; indeed, consideration for others formed a large part of his life, especially in later years, a family life bound by closer ties of dear love than are often met with. No one who knew them all will ever forget the perfect fraternal relations of the three brothers and a genius for friendship which many of us will remember all our lives with recurring affection and gratitude. May his memory for ever be held In true respect in this town be loved so well." The Luncheon. In view of the substantial number of colleagues and admirers of Lord Buckland who were in attendance from long distances a luncheon was given at the Drill Hall by Major F.

He made happy references to their early association with Merthyr and assured them that the town was /Rood of such worthy sons. Their remarkable careers in the world of industry and commerce, and their great acts of philanthropy, particularly in support of voluntary hospitals, reflected glory on their native town. He thanked Sir Gomer for accepting the presidency of the Merthyr Institution In place of the late Lord Buckland. Lord Camrose, in reply, said he found it difficult to respond owing is to the mixed feelings aroused by the day's functions. but he could assure that all that had been done for Merthyr by his brother and himself had been done with immense pleasure and in the hope that they would be able to do still more in the same direction in the future.
