The South Africa War Graves Project
The goal of the South Africa War Graves Project is to archive photographs
of every single South African & Rhodesian war grave from the 2nd Anglo-Boer
War, Bambatha Rebellion, WW1, Rand Revolt, WW2, Korea, Freedom Struggle,
Angola-Border War, Non World War and Police to present day. These photos
will either be in the format of a picture of a headstone or a name on
a memorial. These photos will eventually be made freely to the family,
friends of the deceased serviceperson, school groups, veterans groups
and MOTH shell-holes through this website.
Most of the families and friends of South Africa's (and Rhodesia's) war
dead will never get a chance to visit the graves of these fallen service
people due to the distances and expenses involved with such a journey.
Hopefully by archiving these photos we will be able to close a missing
chapter in many people’s lives by supplying them a photo of the
last restingplace of a loved one. By archiving these photos will have
created an online South African national war cemetery. The future generations
in turn will hopefully be able to learn from this archive, remember and
never forget.
