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.
