"A stone monument, with a large bronze figure, was erected here in 1904 in memory of officers and men of the East Kent Regiment (The Buffs), and of the Imperial Yeomanry of East Kent, who lost their lives during the Boer War." Kelly's Directory 1913
There is a wonderful site called "Kent Fallen" that you might want to take a look at.
