The vast majority of Great War historians have ignored the presence of mounted troops on the Western Front, or have written off the entire cavalry arm with a single word – ‘obsolete.’ However, the Canadian Cavalry Brigade and the Canadian Light Horse remained on the Western Front throughout the Great War because cavalry still had a role to play in modern warfare.

    The Victoria Cross Garden The Story of the Anglo/Boer War Memorial erected in the Victoria Cross Garden, Cheswick Green Will you come with me in silent thought to the battlefields of South Africa, to the lonely graves scattered over the veldt, and to the thousands of those who had died of wounds, disease and sickness since that Great Adventure. John W Pettinger January 2019 The Mysterious Stones Those people who have lived in Cheswick Green since the new Village was built in the 1970s have been aware of a tall column standing in the garden of 194 Creynolds Lane, on the corner of Cheswick Way. A fascinating and mysterious feature. Living in this Village, with its many odd features and origins, has stirred in many of its inhabitants a desire to understand more of its history. The author has some understanding of its origins and some of its odd features. Having relatives who were brought up and lived on the old Mount Estate, and who as children were discouraged from playing in the area around the column. It was regarded as a special, almost sacred place and not a place for playing! But what was its significance, and why was it regarded as special? There exists an old pamphlet from the early 1900s, advertising the features and attractions of the Pleasure Grounds that existed in Cheswick at that time. This document contains a reference to a ‘Victoria Cross Garden’. VICTORIA CROSS GARDEN. This is another object of interest commemorating the South African War, and especially the bravery of the Warwickshire men who were engaged.

John W Pettinger July 2017 The Significance of the Stones – A Boer War Memorial In the early Spring of 2011 a planning application relating to 194 Creynolds Lane was noted. It was realised that this site was once called The Victoria Cross Garden – a feature of the Mount Pleasure Grounds of the early 1900s, and that remnants of that garden were still on the site. This fact was not generally known. I brought the matter to the attention of the Cheswick Green Parish Council and urged it to attempt to secure any remaining artefacts for the future: suggesting that any such remains could be re-installed at some suitable location within the Village to form an historical feature, preserving our heritage and above all continuing to honour the men to whom it was erected originally – those men of Warwickshire who were engaged in the South African Wars.

    Post il-karti ta' missieri sibt fuljett li huwa ta' interess ghall-istorja tal-Banda San Gorg ta' Bormla. Missieri miet meta kellu wiehed u hamsin sena u ma lahaqx ordna hafna mid-dokumenti li gabar matul il­ hajja pubblika tieghu, qasira izda mimlija sew. Issa li rtirajt, qieghed nipprova ndur u nikkataloga, kemm il-karti ta' missieri, kif ukoll tieghi. Kultant mill­ karti ta' missieri johorgu hwejjeg li qatt ma kont naf bihom. Fosthom dan tal-lum. Dan il-fuljett jghid illi nhar il-ftadd 24 ta' Ottubru 1926, disghin sena ilu, il-Banda Filarmonika ·San Gorg ta' Bormla kienet ser taghmel de butt koncertistiku fit-Teatru Rjal taht il-patrocinju tal­ Gvernatur Sir Walter Norris Congreve V.C., K.C.B., M.V.O. u taht id-direzzjoni tal-Professur Antonio Polito fi-4.00 ta' wara nofsinhar. Il-fuljett juri ritratt tal-Maestro Antonio Polito u jinfurmana illi 1-Banda kienet komposta minn hamsa u sebghin element. 11-fuljett jinforma wkoll illi 1-banda kellha strumenti moderni tad-ditta Maino ed Orsi ta' Milan. 11-ftadd waranofsinhar it-Teatru Rjal kien aktarx ihallih ghall-opri, ghaliex in-nies ta' barra I-Belt Valletta kienu jsibuha bi kbira jmorru t-teatru matul il-gimgha filghaxija billi ma kienx hawn trasport pubbliku ghal wara li jispiccaw 1-opri, aktarx wara nofs il-lejl, meta jkunu bdew ghall-habta tat-tmienja.
