[PHOTO] Boer War memorial commemorating Island losses at Paardeberg, Charlottetown

[rfmcdonald]

This statue standing just a bit to the east of Province House and Great George Street commemorates Prince Edward Island's participation in the Boer War, with particular emphasis on the reverse side of the casualties among Island volunteers in the Battle of Paardeberg.

I blogged about this monument and the battle it commemorates back in 2008, and in 2009 I linked to a blog post by Jussi Jalonen describing Nordic volunteer participation in this battle on the side of the Boers.
