Hetta Scholtz skryf: Dat die begraafplaas bestaan uit verskillende dele:- * 'n Naald op die heuwel : die was toegespan met doringdraad, kon nie naby kom nie * Diamond Hill - Engelse naam vir die slag * Donkerhoek - Afrikaanse naam vir die slag * Renosterkop - ook soontoe geskuif * Lapa met memorials - blykbaar deur die Australiese regering opgerig. Hulle hou 1x per jaar 'n byeenkoms daar.
