Prince Christian Victor Memorial

It was erected in 1902 to commemorate the death of Prince Christian Victor of Schleswig-Holstein, the eldest son of Queen Victoria's third daughter Princess Helena.

The memorial was designed by the architect Frederick William Marks, with three bronze panels made by the sculptor Onslow Whiting and one by Emil Fuchs.

It comprises a tall obelisk of pink granite, about 12 m (39 ft) high, in several sections, the third from the bottom decorated with a palmette motif, the next fluted, and the last flaring out to the base.

The front panel (south) by Fuchs shows two angels lifting a soldier "towards another world" with an inscribed dedication of the memorial to Prince Christian Victor: "IN MEMORY OF / CHRISTIAN VICTOR PRINCE OF SCHLESWIG-HOLSTEIN / CAPTAIN & BREVET MAJOR, THE KING'S ROYAL RIFLE CORPS / DIED AT PRETORIA OCTOBER 29TH 1900, / ELDEST SON OF PRINCE AND PRINCESS CHRITIAN OF SCHLESWIG-HOLSTEIN / GRANDSON OF VICTORIA, QUEEN OF GREAT BRITAIN & IRELAND / EMPRESS OF INDIA".

The memorial is set on a small square of grass delimited by low chains hanging between granite bollards, at the east end of Hoe Park below the north west bastion of the Royal Citadel.
