CALABAR MEMORIAL. The Calabar, Ibadan, Lokoja and Zaria
Memorials were erected partly by subscription and partly from Nigerian
Government funds. They stand at the Headquarters of the different units
of the Nigeria Regiment and each is a War Memorial bearing a complete
list of war dead on bronze tablets. The Memorial commemorates 407
casualties of the 3rd Bn. Nigeria Regiment and No.2 Artillery Battery,
Nigeria Regiment. It takes the form of a concrete rectangular pillar on
a stepped base, flanked by two machine guns captured at Ngwende on the
24 January 1917.
