COLESBERG - 14TH BATTERY ROYAL ARTILLERY COLE'SKOP

I am currently reading the diary written by my wifes great grandfather who was Cpl G.H. Oatey of the 4th Battery Royal Field Artillery 1st Division. On the fourth page of this diary, he describes exactly the same as the actions written on this memorial. So glad that I found this post. I will eventually be able to let interested parties have a pdf copy of the diary pages at some point in the future.

That is certainly a fairly impressive memorial, given it is a relatively modern example, the Battery remains extant today in the air defence roll as part of 16 Regiment, RA.
