Boer War Memorial, Hastings

A column with a Corinthian capital which is surmounted by a ball finial on which sits a bronze flame. Crossed, gun metal flags, representing the Union Jack and the colours of the Royal Sussex Regiment are draped near the base of the column. The column rests on an octagonal base which, in turn, rests on a rectangular plinth. The plinth stands on two unpolished granite steps.
On the south face, underneath a raised intertwined 'S' and an 'A', black painted carved letters (repainted in 1995):
ERECTED BY THE
INHABITANTS OF THIS BOROUGH
TO THE MEMORY OF
THEIR BRAVE FELLOW TOWNSMEN
WHO FELL IN THE SOUTH AFRICAN WAR
1899 TO 1902
The names of the fallen are inscribed on the other three faces.
Grade II listed. Link
