Description

The Prince Christian Victor Memorial is a war memorial located on the Promenade at the Hoe in Plymouth. It was erected in 1902 in memory of Christian Victor, Prince of Schleswig-Holstein, who died in the Boer War. The memorial features a polished pink granite obelisk that is partly fluted and stands on a plinth with bronze plaques, all set on a stepped granite base. The obelisk has a square plan, and each side of the plinth includes a segmental-arched panel. Two of these panels depict engagements from the Boer War, while the front panel shows the war hero being carried aloft by an angel, and the other panel illustrates a heavenly scene with angels. Surrounding the memorial is a low perimeter fence made of granite bollards linked by chains. This memorial is part of a notable group of memorials located on the Hoe.
