The statue was presented to the City of Edinburgh by Sir Dhunjibhoy Bomanji of Bombay "in admiration of the services rendered to the British Empire by the Field Marshal.” and was unveiled in 1923. It was initially located on the Esplanade, where, during the period of the Edinburg Tattoo it was enveloped by seating.
The statue was relocated to outside the Scottish National War Museum and re-dedicated in March 2011.
