A World War 1 cannon

War is sad, and those who paid the great price for the sake of the safety of their countrymen should be remembered. The inscription on this cannon found near the top of Cape Town's Company's Gardens reads:

Erected to the memory of the officers, N.C.Os & men
of the S.A. Heavy Artillery who fell in The Great War
1914 - 1918.

Amazing to think that the start of WW1 was almost a hundred years ago. Still looms quite large in our collective memories.
