Connelly, Mark, Donaldson, Peter (2010) South African War (1899-1902) memorials in Britain: a case study of memorialization in London and Kent. War and Society, 29 (1). pp. 20-46. ISSN 0729-2473. E-ISSN 2042-4345. (doi:10.1179/204243410X12674422128830) (KAR id:31098)

Abstract

Mass public commemoration of war dead is often held to be a twentieth-century phenomenon, with its genesis in the Great War. This article argues for a pre-history occasioned by commemoration of the South African War (1899–1902) that built on shifts in the form and function of war memorials that had begun in the middle of the nineteenth century.
