A photographic collection from Braamfontein Cemetery

Braamfontein Cemetery is unique in that it contains gravs and memorials from not only the two world wars, but from the Anglo Boer War as well. It's a wonderful old cemetery, heavy with history and stories to be heard. There is even a Victoria Cross holder buried here, as well as a number of famous people from Johannesburg's past. Sadly time is taking its toll and the stones are slowly crumbling and sagging, and I fear that unless something is done quickly we will loose this wonderful piece of history.
