| Natal Witness 21st August 1880 Our Durban letter - The model of the proposed statue to the late Prince Imperial has arrived here in a very shattered condition. It represents the Prince mounted in his artillery uniform and shading his eyes with his hand.
Was this ever built? I can't remember ever seeing such a statue. |

| Kate, Just a thought try asking Glenn Flanagan in PMB. She is a font of knowledge on the Prince Imperial. She instituted the Route du Prince Imperial sometime ago. See [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] for her contact details. JY |

| I think if one reads the report it says a 'model' had arrived. Not a statue, so possible because the 'model' was so badly damaged the actual statue was never commisioned. Just a thought |

| Frank, Look at it this way S.A. won the ODI series, and if you look at it another way - as an Englishman abroad - you can celebrate Archer’s bowling. JY |
