About these numbers These percentages indicate the number of Find a Grave memorials that have a grave photo or GPS coordinates. We don't know the total number of burials in a cemetery, so we cannot calculate a percentage of those with memorials, photos or GPS coordinates.

In 1979, this memorial was erected to honour the 781 Boers who were killed in Natal during the South African War 1899 – 1902. The monument consists of seven stylised hands reaching up to the sky. Each hand represents a battle of the Natal campaign in the Ladysmith area; Talana, Elandslaagte, Nicholsen's Nek, Colenso, Spioenkop, Vaalkrans and Pieters/Wagon Hill. On the 'wrist' of each hand is a plaque listing the names of those burghers who fell at each battle. The hands form a circle around a giant grave where the remains of 310 Boers were re-interred. Several of the men's headstones can be seen embedded in the wall around the monument. (Amafa / Heritage KwaZulu Natal website)
