The South African Defence Force Wall of Remembrance at the Voortrekker Monument

The South African Defence Force Wall of Remembrance was unveiled at the Voortrekker Monument on the 25th of October 2009. The Wall was erected to pay tribute to the members of the SADF who lost their lives in service of their country over the period 31 May 1961 (the coming of the Republic) and 27 April 1994 (the birth of the SANDF). It was made possible through private donations and contributions in kind amd no state funds were used to this end. Also close by is the 32 Battalion Tree of Honour which commemorates those soldiers of 32 Battalion who lost their lives during the border war, as well as the newly found 31/201 Battalion Memorial. On 15 August 2010 a service was once again held at the Wall. This time there were more wreaths and additional names added to the plaques. On 29 May 2011 the 3rd service was held, and representatives came from far and wide to pay their respects. As each year passes so the list of casualties becomes more complete, and the supplementary list becomes shorter, and each year more people acknowledge this memorial for the sacrifices it represents. The first 6 photographs are from the 2011 service. The next service will be held on the Sunday closest to the 31st of May 2012. The Wall may be found at S25°46.546 E28°10.460.
