I was here yesterday in Johannesburg.. I am sorry if anyone has posted this before but I found this both moving and interesting. Names of many of the fallen are carved into each of the pilars.

1. Bethune’s Mounted Infantry,
2. Commander In Chief’s Bodyguard,
3. Johannesburg Mounted Rifles,
4. Thorneycroft’s Mounted Infantry,
5. South African Light Horse,
