The Tonbridge Boer War Memorial, located in a picturesque setting between Tonbridge Castle and the River Medway, honors the men of Tonbridge and former scholars of Tonbridge School who served during the Second Boer War from 1899 to 1902. Designed by W.J. Gribble and unveiled on June 21, 1904, the memorial features a panelled pedestal with ornamental scroll trusses and an obelisk, inscribed with the names of 24 individuals who gave their lives for Queen and Country.
This memorial serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made during the conflict, with an inscription that reflects the enduring legacy of those commemorated. Visitors are encouraged to enjoy the site and share their experiences, contributing to the ongoing remembrance of these brave individuals.
