VlogMas Day 12: The Boer War Memorial near Tonbridge Castle.
The town's oldest war memorial commemorates the twenty-four 'Townsmen of Tonbridge or Old Boys of Tonbridge School' who died in the Boer War.

It takes the form of an obelisk mounted on a plinth on a single-stepped base surrounded by metal railings; there are four balls at each corner of the base of the obelisk and the town coat of arms at the front. The main inscriptions are on a bronze plate on the front of the memorial. The memorial was unveiled in June 1902 by General Sir Redvers Buller. The masons were Messrs Alex MacDonald & Co, the architect Mr Herbert Gamble and the foundry Messrs Hart, Son, Peras and Co. Lt.
