Boer War Memorial

The Boer War Memorial honors the heroic devotion of the Canadians who fell in the South African War and the valour of their comrades. It gives grateful recognition to the patriotism and public spirit shown by Lord Strathcona and Mount Royal in raising and equipping a regiment of horse for service in South Africa as evidence of his sympathy with the cause of imperial unity. The memorial also names Komati River-Belfast, Kimberley, Paardeberg, Johannesburg, Mafeking, Pretoria, Harts River, Belfast, Lydenburg, Diamond Hill, and Faber's Putts, and bears the words Imperium et Libertas with dates from 1900 to 1902.
