Wonderful images, when was this memorial erected, have the panels been replaced at some point?

Good heavens, forget I asked that, I should have looked a little closer at the second image, the whole monument is quite new, I originally wondered if it had been refurbished at some point.

Frank these pictures were taken in March 2009. It seems to me that the people in Lydenburg take good care of this cemetery.

Yes, indeed, sorry for asking a silly question, I failed to take note of the date, quite clearly inscribed at the bottom of the panel and thought it might have been originally much older than it actually is.
