Littlehand was this memorial to the 1879 Zulu War? The reason I ask I have been down the Edinburgh Castle Esplanade, quite a few times and never came across this.

Hi all
I do believe that this is a memorial to those who fell during the 2nd Boer War and the memorial is called The Scottish Horse Monument in Edinburgh Castle esplanade. Littlehand's photo is part of this memorial.
