I’ve said it before and I will say it again and again and again (every time I find another one). Just about every town has a war memorial. Click to see those in Knysna and Mossel Bay which I’ve blogged about before. Driving around Montagu I was looking for interesting places and stumbled upon the Montagu War Memorial remembering those from the town who fell during the Anglo Boer War, WWI and WWII. I’m not a war junkie so I don’t know what the gun is called, but I liked the fact that the memorial wasn’t just a brick or stone pillar.
Also situated in the memorial garden is a Voortrekker monument that was erected in 1938 to commemorate the Great Trek’s centenary year.
I'm not into war but can certainly appreciate a memorial. Plus we all need to be reminded of our history.
Great shot I like the perspective on this one…..
Love the last shot! Nice angle.
