History
Design by Newton Vane, this granite and marble memorial was unveiled by the
then Prime Minister, Sir Joseph Ward, on 3rd June 1908.
Two of the names on the memorial, those of Daniel and Gibb, are a mystery as to
the reason for their inclusion. Neither of the two men are listed as being
casualties of the Anglo-Boer War. A James Gibb is recorded as dying 1902, but at
64 years of age it is hard to believe he would have been selected to serve in
South Africa. Any information regarding these two names would be appreciated.
