Huddersfield Boer War Memorial

The Huddersfield Boer War Memorial is located at the south-east of the park, near the main east-west avenue. It features a life-sized bronze statue of a soldier standing on an Aberdeen granite pedestal. The soldier is depicted in a thoughtful pose on a rocky mound, inscribed with "PRO PATRIA," holding the barrel of his upturned rifle. He is dressed in typical campaign attire, complete with a slouch hat, puttees, bandolier, pouch, and water bottle. The pedestal has a moulded cornice and base, and it rests on a square plinth with a two-tier stepped base.

On the front of the pedestal, there is a bronze panel with relief lettering that reads: "IN MEMORY OF/ THE MEN FROM THIS DISTRICT/ WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES FOR THEIR COUNTRY/ IN THE SOUTH AFRICAN WAR 1899 - 1902/ THIS MONUMENT HAS BEEN/ ERECTED BY PUBLIC SUBSCRIPTION/ 1905." Below this inscription are the names of 28 men. Additionally, a panel on the pedestal base states: "THIS MEMORIAL WAS UNVEILED BY / LIEUT. GENERAL SIR J. D. P. FRENCH K. C. B., K. C. M. G./ ON SATURDAY MAY 20TH 1905."
