Geocache Description:

This is Alloa's South African War Memorial. Eleven local men lost their lives during the Second Boer War in South Africa between 1899 and 1902.

Taken from Clackmannanshire Council website:

This site, which lies within the Alloa Glebe Conservation Area, is situated on the north side of the junction between Ludgate and Claremont and comprises a public open space with shrub margins, grassed areas and wide footpaths. The memorial, which is Category B listed, stands off centre towards the north of the site, centred on a circular hard standing with three radial footpaths extending out towards the north west, south and north east.

The memorial comprises an ashlar square stone pedestal with carved coat of arms and inscription on a convex south face. The remaining three upper pedestal faces have relief panels with moulded edges with the north facing panel containing a bronze plaque. There is a moulded pediment to the upper edge of the pedestal. The stone statue depicts a soldier of the Argyll & Southerland Highlanders standing protectively over a wounded comrade.

This cache is a camo'd 5ml tube so please bring your own pen/pencil and possibly tweezers. Please retrieve stealthily and replace as found thanks.

Parking is available over the road in the large car park.

The road can be very busy so please take care with young children.
