Comments: |
"The foundations for the one-and-half-acre site of the memorial garden in Palace Barracks were laid in 1994. The memorial stones themselves are all made from South Africa granite. The garden and this website is maintained on a voluntary basic. The custodian and webmaster are both former soldiers." |
