Just picked up this postcard featuring the Boer War Memorial in Cannon Hill Park in Birmingham.
Thought I would share with the forum.
Possibly pre-dates WW1.
One of my KIAs, Pte. John Rowley of the Worcesters Mounted Infantry is commemorated on this one.

Berenice, do you have the 521 names on this memorial?

This is the total they mention on this website, www.iwm.org.uk/memorials/item/memorial/17351

A few more pics of the Cannon Hill Park Memorial for you.
Taken on a lovely late summer's day this year.
Cheers Steve

Steve - do you have a photo of the panel bearing the name Lance-corporal T R Pursall. Although he was born in Birmingham he qualifies as a Smethwickian as he was raised there and went to school there - see my recent post "Uplands Cemetery, Smethwick". I think I need to go through the other 520 names on this memorial as some others must also qualify as Smethwickians especially as I feel I amlight on Smethwickians who died. Many thanks, David.
