I couldn't help but notice that the names of 4 Zulu scouts are on the memorial alongside the names of the soldiers.
Bravo, the Scottish Horse.

I noticed the soldiers' service numbers are given. If they had been listed on Great War memorials what an aid to research that would have been. |

This memorial has been removed from the esplanade for restoration. There is a sign confirming this but I unfortunately neglected to note if there was a date for its return.
Unlike the Haig statue I believe it is intended to return it to its original location. |
