prev in roman numerals the number 4 is represented as iv; why then, on a clockface or watch dial the number 4 is represented as iiii ?

Hello there tortoise,
Going by this site:~
http://www.roll-of-honour.com/Yorkshire/YorkBoerWar.html
which shows the opening of the Memorial I don't think so.
I think it was just meant to be an open architectural lantern.

I've lived in York all my life and never knew about this memorial until quite recently........it is very unusual considering the style of the other memorials in the city.......
