Unveiled on 31 October 1902, it is considered the city's oldest war memorial and commemorates members of the Indian Army who died during the South African War (Anglo-Boer War) of 1899–1902. Purpose: Dedicated to the nearly 9,000 Indian non-combatants—including stretcher-bearers, farriers (nalbands), veterinary assistants, and water carriers—who served with the British forces.
