South African War Memorial, Brisbane, War memorial at Anzac Square, Brisbane, Australia
The South African War Memorial features a life-size bronze statue of a mounted infantryman positioned on a trachyte pedestal at 228 Adelaide Street.
The memorial honors 89 Queensland soldiers who died during the Second Boer War from 1899 to 1902, representing the first overseas conflict for Queensland troops.
Annual commemorative marches by the African War Veterans Association occurred at the memorial every May 31st, marking the Treaty of Vereeniging anniversary.
