THE JOCK MEMORIAL
The Memorial was designed by William Tait Conner, a Scottish Architect born in Glasgow who moved to Johannesburg in 1903. He was one of the first to enroll in the Transvaal Scottish and served in the First World War, attaining the rank of major. After his service in the South West Africa Campaign, he was awarded a Military Cross for his heroic conduct at the Battle of Delville Wood, but was killed in action at the Battle of Arras.
The Sculpture shows a soldier in kilt and Scottish regalia. It was initially erected on the east side of King George Street, immediately outside Joubert Park. On 5th November 1994, it was re-dedicated and handed over to the City of Johannesburg. It now sits on a rising site on the triangular ground where St Andrew’s and Ridge Road meet.
