Remembrance Day

Thursday morning I went to Victorica Park for the Remembrance Day Ceremony. I went a little early so I could do some sketching, after all it has been a wonderful week of weather. Thousands of people turned out for the ceremony, great to see. Attached is quick sketch of The Boer War Memorial. A little history... The Boer War Memorial, George Hill, sculptor was unveiled in 1912 and the Cenotaph was erected in 1934. The World War Two Sherman Tank, “Holy Roller” was dedicated in 1950 to the First Hussars.
