The Bleskop Great War Memorial.

These photographs of the Bleskop Great War Memorial are courtesy of Danie De Villers of Andante Tours who encountered this little known memorial on the R45 between Wemmershoek and Franschoek in 2011. Unfortunately, like so many other memorials in South Africa the history of this one is lost, and if anybody can assist with more information on the memorial, as well as the significance of "Bleskop" please contact me via the Contact page. I have tentatively classified this as the "Bleskop Memorial" until such time as more information comes available. The memorial can be found at Google Earth Co-ordinates 33° 52.380'S  19° 0.250'E, or Download the KMZ file. Special thanks to Piet Conradie for help in pinpointing the memorial on GE.
