Hello Philip
I live approximately 100km from Lydenburg and have visited many years ago. Unfortunately I lost all the pictures but I remember there were quite a few graves all marked with the metal crosses.
I could pop there one weekend if needs be, do you have someone you want pgotographed?

Philip
