The Cemetery, Graveyards, Memorials and War Graves Pages
|
It was never my original intention to create this page, but as I have been working with the South Africa War Graves Project I suddenly discovered that I was taking lots of photographs in cemeteries and of memorials during my travels. I have completed over 1000 Commonwealth War Graves in Brixton, Braamfontein and West Park cemeteries over the past few months, and it has been a very satisfying project. My quest to photograph cemeteries has now become a sideline, and very interesting one too. I did discover that there is very little information about most of these memorials and cemeteries, many aren't even on the map, but they are a part of our history whether we like it or not and as such worthwhile recording.
I have also reclassified some memorials and monuments as "extinct" as they have either been vandalised and never repaired, or the plaque which shows the context has gone missing and has never been replaced.
As usual this is an ongoing project and as usual some pics open in a new window, and If you do have any questions or anything to add to these pages please contact me via the Contact page.
