Hi Guys

If anyone has a Sanna's Post casualty let me know I have a number of pictures of this graveyard. I visited this battlefield a few years back on a visit to Bloemfontein.

The graveyard is near the railway station, fortunately it appears vandals have left this one alone.

Regards
Brian

Here are some pictures of the Battlefield taken about 5 years ago.

The first picture is left, the second middle and the third right. These are taken from the memorial observation area.

The picture of the oxen and wagons I suspect is where the road bridge is in the first photo? It is the only place where the road crosses the river in this area.

I am sure my last picture is taken from a similar angle to Davids 3rd Picture of the Battlefield?

Regards and enjoy
Brian

They are great Brian. I like the contrast between contemporary and current.

Many thanks

I wanted to walk the battlefield but unfortunately could not find anyone to ask, would hate to get shot at by a Boer wishing to re-enact the battle :lol:

I will try again next year.

Since Henk lives in the Free State, perhaps he can arrange a 'safe passage' pass for a fellow medal collector. We cannot afford to lose you!
