Onslow Whiting

Onslow Ernest Whiting (4 June 1872 – 4 August 1937) was an English sculptor and teacher.

The Gloucestershire Regiment Memorial, Queen's Road, Bristol commemorates the Boer War and consists of a bronze figure of a soldier on a granite plinth.

[6] Whiting also created three relief panels for the Prince Christian Victor Memorial, an obelisk commemorating the Second Boer War on Plymouth Hoe, a gift from Alfred Mosely, a philanthropist who had made his fortune in South Africa.

The panel facing north shows the charge of the Devonshire Regiment at Waggon Hill and is inscribed with the words: "One point in our position was occupied by the enemy the whole day but at dusk in a very heavy rainstorm they were turned out of the position at the point of the bayonet in the most gallant manner by the Devon Regiment led by Colonel Park.

The last panel carries the inscription: "This obelisk is erected by Alfred Mosely to the memory of Christian Victor Prince of Schleswig-Holstein and to the officers, non-commissioned officer and men of the Gloucestershire, Somerset and Devonshire Regiments who fell during the Boer War, 1899-1902.

The plaque is aedicular in shape and contains a relief portrait bust of Rhodes, with the arms of Oriel College, three lions on a shield above, and below him an inscription.

The plaque was controversially granted Grade II listed status in July 2022, after the culture secretary overrode the earlier judgment by Historic England which determined that the plaque lacked the “richness of detail” required for listed status.

[11] His door knocker Prometheus Bound was shown at the Spring Exhibition of the City Art Gallery, Leeds in 1897 and was for sale by commission in bronze for £10 10s.
