The Delville Wood Memorial -is a symbol of braveness which depicts the character and determination of the South African soldiers who lost their lives at the battle of Delville Wood near the village of Longueval in France during the First World War. South Africa entered the war on the 8th of September 1914 on the side of the Allied Forces. The battle of Delville Wood has been described as South Africa's bloodiest battle in military history. The Delville Wood Memorial was thus erected in The Company's Garden, Cape Town, to commemorate the lives of those South African soldiers who lost their lives during the war.
