Lieutenant Colonel W McCarthy O’Leary was the officer who commanded the 1st Battalion when it left Preston for South Africa to take part in the Boer War At the seige of Ladysmith, when the British Garrison was beseiged, great efforts were being made to bring about a relief but difficulties constantly stood in the way. The Tugela River formed an admirable line of reisitance for the Boers and the Tugela Heights had to be taken before Ladysmith could be approached It was Pieter’s Hill in the Tugels Heights that the 11th (Lancashire) Brigade specially distinguished itself for its action at this central elevation when the attack was successfully carried by the South Lancashire Regiment led by Lt Colonel McCarthy O’Leary in a charge of the utmost resolution and courage Lt Col O’Leary’s words as he led the charge have forever become part of the Regiment’s tradition and history. “Remember, men”, he called out, “The eyes of Lancashire are watching over you”. The Colonel fell dead with three of his men in the moment of victory on 27th February 1900 The relief of Ladysmith was assured and the South Lancashire Regiment added one more inscription to the long list of battle honours Since the monument was erected and unveiled by General Sir Redvers Bullen KCB on 21st February 1907, many commemoration parades have been held
