Horse Memorial

The Horse Memorial, located at the intersection of Russell and Cape Roads in Port Elizabeth, Eastern Cape, stands as a provincial heritage site. This memorial was erected as a tribute to the horses that lost their lives during the South African War (1899-1902), also known as the Second Boer War. The inscription on the memorial bears a poignant message, stating that the greatness of a nation lies not in its size or population but in the depth and fairness of its compassion.
