Boer War Memorial

The St Peter Port Boer War memorial lists those men who gave their lives during the South African (Boer) War 1899-1902. The memorial stands on the south side of St Julian's Avenue in St Julian's Gardens and was unveiled by HRH Prince Arthur Duke of Connaught Sunday 23rd September 1905. It was designed by Mr. W Newbury. It takes the form of a soldier standing over a wounded comrade in mourning pose with his head bowed and his rifle reversed the whole stands on a square plinth with a single stepped base. The outstretched foot of the wounded soldier was lost after the statue was scheduled, but it was replaced in 1998.
