Monument
This monument
was erected in memory of Oxford Rifles members who enlisted
and took part in the South African Boer War (1899 -
1902). Colour Sergeant G. W. Leonard fell in battle
in May 1901, while Corporal M. Davidson died of enteric
fever in May 1902, while serving with the South African
Constabulary.
The
monument bust of Colour Sergeant Leonard stands before
the Court House, but was erected in memory of both men,
and was unveiled on
May 24, 1904.
