MAGERSFONTEIN BATTLEFIELD

This is the battlefield of Magersfontein. It was here in Kimberley, that General PA Cronje and his Boer troops defeated the English forces. A hilltop memorial near the museum commemorates the Scottish dead, while the Royal Highlanders Monument honours the fallen men of the^2nd Battalion. Two other notable memorials are those of the Scandinavians who fought alongside the Boers and the imposing Burgher Monument.
