Brett, I've been saving these photos for the last 2 years because it's such a wonderful memorial that I thought it would be fitting for it to be the 500th post in Memorials & Monuments. It was only towards the end of taking the photos that I started to take some at an angle, showing the figures in relief, so I could actually have taken a lot more photos in total.

I wonder how long it took the sculptor to create the four panels, and did he have any assistants helping him.

Hi Berenice.......

As Brett has said about your mission, some fantastic photos and thank you for posting..... The sculptor put a lot into one piece.......

Here is one who served from Halifax, Pte. Douglas Woods, Halifax Rifles..... www.angloboerwar.com/forum/5-medals-and-...d-s-s-bn-r-c-r#47643

That must be the most elaborate Boer War memorial in existence! It must have taken a long time and much effort to complete. Even your post on it must have been a mission!
Thank you.
Regards
Brett
