And the funny thing is that the current occupants of two of the plinths, Havelock and Napier, are more remembered in New Zealand for the towns named after them (two in the case of the former). I believe that the authorities there were quite keen on getting those statues if they were deemed no longer needed. I am all in favour of Park, not just for the BoB, but, it can be argued, because he saved Malta as well, and was fairly shabbily treated at the time.
