Royal Army Medical Corps Boer War Memorial, War memorial at Gun Hill in Aldershot, England.

The Royal Army Medical Corps Memorial features a bronze sculpture depicting medical personnel tending to a wounded soldier on a three-stepped granite base.

The architectural design by Robert Weir Schultz incorporates a mounted obelisk with a semi-circular base, cast at the Thames Ditton Foundry.
