Memorial information:- Additional information received from Ann Caras:- The Memorial was originally built by the Camps Bay community to celebrate and acknowledge the bravery of the local residents THAT WENT TO WAR – WWI Only six (6) of those men died during WWI (I know this is true because my grand-father & great-uncle, whose names appear on the list & granite slabs, returned from the war) The same acknowledgement was made when men from Camps Bay went to WWII. A few of them I knew in my childhood in the 1950/60s. There is no one actually buried at the memorial. Album complete, we have photographs of all the headstones in the cemetery. eGGSA captions done by: Lorraine Beechey. Information also available on the GGSA Cemetery DVD:- Cemetery ID: 660 Names in cemetery: 68 Google Earth Project Information:- GPSID: 660 GPS: -33 57.295, 18 22.604
