Honoured Dead Memorial, War memorial in Kimberley, South Africa.
The sandstone Honoured Dead Memorial stands at the intersection of five roads, featuring bronze plaques and the Long Cecil gun mounted on its stylobate.
The memorial, completed in 1902, commemorates 27 soldiers who died defending Kimberley during the 124-day siege from October 1899 to February 1900.
An inscription written by Rudyard Kipling adorns the memorial, marking the dedication of those who protected the city during the Anglo-Boer War.
The memorial site includes staircases leading to the entrance, with surrounding shells from Boer Long Tom artillery displayed around the perimeter.
George Labram designed the Long Cecil gun during the siege in De Beers workshops, creating a defensive weapon that now points toward the Free State.
