This is situated on Queen’s Road and is dedicated to members of the Lothians and Berwick Yeomanry who fell in the South African War 1900-1.
This is the wording on the cartouche:-
You’ll note it ends, “Dulce Et Decorum Est Pro Patria Mori” – words made savagely ironic by Wilfred Owen as the result of a later war.
The reverse of the memorial commemorates the Lothians and Border Horse Yeomanry who fell in the two World Wars:-

There are memorials to three wars just by Worcester Cathedral, on the town side.
The first I came to was the one for the South African War (the Second Boer War.)
Just a bit further on there is a memorial to both World Wars. This has no names on it. I assumed there is another memorial elsewhere in Worcester that does that. (A quick internet search suggests not, however, but there are numerous memorials in various churches etc.)
