The Boer War Memorial was erected in 1907 and the sculptor was
FW Pomeroy, RA, and is located in the Great Hall of the Guildhall
on the south wall at the west end of the Hall. The memorial is made
up of three separate panels which were purposefully designed to fit
in with the Gothic arcading.
On the right hand side is a private of the Regiment of the Royal
Fusiliers, on the left is a female figure which represents the
Civic Government, she is holding a palm branch over the 81 names of
those who fell. At the top of the monument is the badge of the
Royal Fusiliers and at the base is the Arms of the City of London
from where the Royal Fusiliers originated.
