The "Suffolk Soldiers' Memorial", erected by Suffolk people as a monument to Suffolk Soldiers who lost their lives in the South African War, 1899-1902, was unveiled by General Sir John French at 3.15 pm on Saturday 29 September 1906 on the Cornhill, Ipswich. It was moved to its current location, in Christchurch Park, Ipswich in the early 1920's.

The memorial stands about 15ft 6in high and the statue itself is about 6ft high; this is of a soldier in khaki uniform, bareheaded and standing with his rifle reversed, as at the graveside of a comrade. The pedestal is of stone and has panels in bronze on each of its sides and the panel at the front also contains the dedication.

The statue was designed and made by Mr Albert Toft and cast in bronze by the cire-pardu (lost wax) process. The sculptor choose, for his model for this statute, a soldier who had served in the South African war.

The unveiling ceremony was extensively reported in the East Anglian Daily Times of Monday 1 October 1906, together with a list of names, Regiment and home town/village. The memorial itself gives rank, initials and name and Regiment. The memorial lists the names by the various corps they died fighting with. For ease of reading and research, the list below is in alphabetical order. Further details of those from the Suffolk Regiment can be found on the Bury St Edmunds Boer War and the Cambridge Boer War with some others also on the Ely Boer War.

On the eve of battle he wrote home to his parents from Spearman's Hill, near Ladysmith:

"Dear Mother and Father,

Just a few lines hoping you all are well. I am quite well and I wish Lizzie lots of happiness. We have a hard battle to fight in a day or two, we are going through to ladysmith no matter what cost - we are anxious for it to be over. There will be a lot killed but I hope we shall succeed to relieve those poor fellows shut up there, we are face to face with our enemy and we mean to do our duty to a man and go through at this time. We can see the Boers from here and they are in a very strong position. Do not worry for me. I feel if I get through this it will be a good step towards the return to Old England - God bless you all and my poor wife. If I fall, try and comfort her, we must do our duty and fight like British soldiers as our Country has a lot at stake and we have an artful and deceitful enemy to cope with but beat them we must and will, we hear there are nearly 50,000 to fight here, they are stronger than us. The paper came in handy. I had none. We have never received anything from England yet only a small piece of pudding but we are not near the railway now so it is hard to get things to us but it is worst for the poor fellows in Ladysmith, Walter is sending one as well as he is alright and sends his best respect to you all - give my love to all the girls and tell them to accept this as a letter to all, I was pleased with yours today, the heat is 114 in the shade today.

Goodbye this time, from your affectionate son. William Hardwicke Tell Joe to be a good boy."

Private Snowling, 2nd Norfolks— Cause of Death.

HC Deb 21 October 1902 vol 113 cc351-2 351

MR. STEVENSON (Suffolk, Eye) To ask the Secretary of State for War whether, in view of the assurance conveyed to him by the Hoxne Rural District 352 Council on behalf of their medical officer of health, that the disease of which Private Snowling, of the 2nd Norfolks, died at Fressingfield on the 29th June last, was typhoid fever, and that he was suffering from it at the time of his discharge from hospital at Aldershot, and considering that two other persons contracted the disease from Private Snowling at Fressingfield, he will cause further inquiry to be made into the circumstances of his discharge, with the object of preventing, in the interests of the public health, a repetition of similar incidents.

(Answered by Mr. Secretary Brodrick.) The hon. Member has apparently been misinformed. Private Snowling was invalided home for secondary syphilis, and was treated in hospital as a convalescent for this disease until he left on sick furlough on 22nd May.
