The Boer War Memorial, sculpted by George W. Hill (1862-1934) was unveiled at the Dominion Square on May 24, 1907. It is dedicated to the Montrealers who fought alongside the British during the Boer War.
It is the only equestrian statue in Montreal, and atypically, is not mounted, but restrained. The Boer War Memorial faces north, towards Mount Royal Cross, which would have been visible from the square up until 1929. Around the base of the statue, copper reliefs and the names of each battle.

Le Monument aux héros de la guerre des Boers situé au Square Dorchester (anciennement Square Dominion) est un monument inauguré le 24 mai 1907, érigé pour rendre hommage aux soldats canadiens morts lors de la Seconde Guerre des Boers.
La statue représente un cheval cabré que retient par la bride son cavalier à pied. Il s'agit de l'unique statue équestre de Montréal, et de l'une des rares du pays.
