"Lt. R.E.W. Turner, VC" Memorial Sculpture

This sculpture, “LT R.E.W. TURNER, VC”, depicts a Royal Canadian Dragoon who was awarded the Victoria Cross for his actions during the Battle of Leliefontein (South Africa) on November 7, 1900. Lt Turner continued leading his Troop in the RCD Rearguard action despite a scalp wound and a broken left arm hit by a Boer bullet. The Sculptor suggests these wounds by having Lt Turner’s Stetson lying on the ground and by having his broken arm supported in the strap of his haversack. The sculpture was unveiled in March 2013 and is dedicated to the memory of Lieutenant Turner, VC.
