3. The rebuilt monuments


In 2009 the monument was rebuilt. Jan Human, on whose farm the monument is sited, and Eugene Campher,
who is passionate about anything connected with Ladysmith’s history, worked for some years to achieve this result.

6. The Boer monument


The Boer dead of the engagement
needed to be commemorated as well. A column alongside the Rifle Brigade cairn
gives their names, including the name of the first Jewish man on the Boer side
to be killed in the Anglo Boer war.
