This wedge-shaped plot of land hosts two military related monuments. In the foreground is this Boer War memorial to the Officers and Men of the 61st Battery of the Royal Field Artillery who died in South Africa between 1899-1902 and behind it, albeit hidden by the trees, the ruins of St George's Garrison Church. The church was built in the 1860s to serve the Royal Artillery Barracks, part of which is visible on the left hand side of the picture. The right-hand road is Woolwich New Rd, that joins Grand Depot Rd (the A205) behind the photographer. Both roads connect Woolwich Common and Woolwich Arsenal.
