1.For very long I was searching for the graves of this ± 14 people that dead in this camp in 1902
With someone else this graves was 'discoverd' were they were reburied in 1925.
But there are no stone to commemorate these victims of war.
Something else I also would like to have done by a local man is to have 2 graves lead letters fix at Aberdeen I think about 20 + of this lead letters are missing on the 2 gravestones.
This 2 young men [ Lontd & van Heerden] fell in the ABW and was buried there in the towns cemetery.
This man that would fix the lead lettering is Keith Baatjies from Port Elizabeth.
I will get a quote from him and will personally take him to Aberdeen and back about 450km and oversee the project.
Then 2 men [Davis & Claassen] were executed in Somerset east and nowhere in town are they remembered, there is a war monument were we can put up a small marble plague.
