Second Boer War Memorial, York

The Second Boer War Memorial lies in the city centre of York, in England.

The war memorial lies on Duncombe Place, near York Minster.

[1][2] The memorial is in the Perpendicular Gothic style and is built of Ketton stone.

The front has eight niches, holding a statue representing different forces: a sailor, cavalryman, artilleryman, infantryman, imperial yeoman, militiaman, volunteer and nurse.

[1][3] The initial statue of a sailor showed him holding a Lee-Enfield Magazine Rifle Mark I, which was rejected as overly aggressive, and instead installed at the library in Lichfield.
