Re-dedication of Memorial to the Second Boer War

1/3/2019

0 Comments

 
Memorials to those who fought or died in the Boer War are less common across Britain than those erected after World Wars One and Two. Chipping Barnet only has one – dedicated to the memory of eight old boys of Christ Church School who died serving as regular soldiers in the war. In July a ceremony of re-dedication was held.

A new book has been published which acknowledges the sacrifice of these men, and remembers others of Chipping Barnet who also served in the Second Boer War:
“The Second Boer War: Remembering Men of Chipping Barnet who served” by J.G. Gale and M.A. Noronha, £10 (available from Barnet Museum). This new book provides information about the service and family histories of several men of Chipping Barnet who served in the Second Boer War, 1899-1902. The book explains the background to the conflict and charts the course of the war. It includes a timeline which explores some key events of the British Empire from 1600-to-date.
