Honouring the fallen

Not a poppy but a single arum lily to honour this poor soul in the Parish Road Cemetery in Constantia on Remembrance Day, 11/11/11. There are quite a few Second Anglo-Boer War graves in this small cemetery - all British soldiers who died here during this war that took place from 1899-1902. Sadly, many of them died waiting to go home as the dates include 1903 and 1906.
