Designed by Robert Lorimer, sculpted by W.B. Birnie Rhind, 1904. Memorial to the Boer War. Coursed polished stone. Stepped 2-stage plinth with tooled panel reading "IN MEMORIAM " surmounted by cartouche to lower stage and the Alloa heraldic shield with tooled motto reading "IN THE FOREFRONT" to upper stage; corniced coping; surmounted by sculpture of a kilted soldier, with his hand on his revolver, standing over a wounded colleague.
