There was a statue in London's theatre district raised in the twenties or
early thirties as a memorial for WWI. It's described at least in part as
"the figure of a woman in nurse's uniform holding out her hand."

What's it called, and what was the inscription on the pedestal?
Thanks

Never mind, I think I've found it, although the statue is not really
"holding out her hand" as the description said. It's the statue of Edith
Cavell in Trafalgar Square, and the inscription is "Patriotism is not
enough. I must have no hatred or bitterness for anyone."
