"Comrades in Arms", including Corporal Frederick Tubb
Lieutenant Leslie Maygar was awarded the Victoria Cross for the rescue of a fellow soldier under heavy fire. He later served in the First World War and died of wounds on the day after the Battle of Beersheba in 1917
Frederick Tubb also went on to serve during the First World War, where, as a Lieutenant, he was awarded the Victoria Cross for his actions at Lone Pine. Like Maygar, he too later died of wounds, in Belgium in 1917
The adjacent Longwood Fire Station makes a fitting backdrop to the Longwood Boer War Memorial
The wall of the Fire Station bears an image of two men, a firefighter and a soldier, either side of a scene reminiscent of the Western Front of the First World War
