Some modern-day photos. It's actually the memorial for The King's Liverpool Regiment rather than a general war memorial. I've posted only the South Africa War-specific parts of the memorial but the rest (Afghanistan and Burma) can be added if anyone thinks that they should be.







Below "South Africa 1899-1902" are some tiny inscribed words.



I wonder if it's ever been transcribed?



Most of the flagpole has been lost.









At the rear, either side of the drummer, is "Defence Of Ladysmith"

Many thanks Berenice. Your recent photos contrast well with the postcard with which Paul commenced the thread.

Nice postcard and great photos.
I cant make it out clearly but is it a fallen soldier lying under the flag?
