South African War Memorial, War memorial in North Terrace, Adelaide, Australia.
The bronze equestrian statue features a South Australian mounted soldier atop a granite pedestal with bronze plaques listing fallen soldiers' names.
In 1904, Governor George Le Hunte unveiled this memorial dedicated to 1,531 South Australians who served in the Second Boer War from 1899 to 1902.
The memorial stands as one of only two public equestrian sculptures in Australia during its construction period, marking South Australia's first military conflict.
The monument occupies a central location on North Terrace, where visitors can access it daily and attend annual Anzac Day commemorative ceremonies.
The statue's head bears resemblance to George Henry Goodall, though sculptor Adrian Jones intended no specific individual representation in the design.
