Halifax (War Monuments)

An heroic statue of a colonial soldier has been erected in the Provincial Square to honor the memory of the brave Nova Scotians who fell during the recent Boer War and "are buried in the South African Veldt."

Opposite Government House on Pleasant Street is an impressive memorial to Welsford and Parker, the Nova Scotian Heroes of the Crimean War. A broad granite base supports a small but massive arch, surmounted by a statue of the British lion.
