South African War Memorial (Toronto)
- South African War Memorial (Toronto)
The South African War Memorial is a memorial located at University Avenue and Queen Street West in Toronto.
Commissioned in 1910 and designed by Walter Seymour Allward to commemorate Canada's participation in the Boer War, it consists of three bronze figures at the base of a granite column. Another bronze figure is found at the top of the memorial. It was restored in 2001.
The Ontario Heritage Foundation plaque for this memorial erroneously states that Walter Allward studied under Emanuel Hahn; in fact, it was the other way around.
