G.I. Bride statue in Partick Station in Glasgow. Appearing in Bud Neill's Lobey Dosser comic strip, she represents the Scottish women who married American soldiers during WWII, only to find their American dream was not all they hoped it would be. As in this statue by Ranald Maccoll, she's usually seen trying to hitchhike back to her home in Pertick.
