Honoured Dead Memorial

TIME : 2016/2/17 10:38:38

This sandstone memorial remembers the soldiers who died defending the British-held city in the 124-day Siege of Kimberley, which took place during the Second Anglo-Boer War (1899–1902). The large gun is Long Cecil, built to repel the Boers’ Long Toms.
