A proud soldier dressed in the uniform of an officer in the Boer War with binoculars in one hand and holding a rifle in the other. The bronze statue sculptured by Benjamin Shepherd of Chelsea tops the 76ft high monument. Below is a circular frieze of cavalrymen in full battle - sculptor AF Smith [Keighley?]. Below this is a part marble circular plinth with stone carved motifs. This all stands on a square base which had three copper plaques with the names of 2 soldiers who died in Afghan Wars and 73 soldiers who died in South African Wars [1899-1902]. Names include Sergeant A. Bottomley a member of Kitchener's Bodyguard. Other names are recorded. Unveiled on 7th November 1904, in 1937, the statue was blown over in a storm.

Three field guns stood by the statue until 1937 when the supporting woodwork was found to be rotten. The memorial is a grade II listed monument.
