This postcard shows the memorial to the men of the 92nd Gordon Highlanders who were killed or died as a result of wounds at the Battle of Majuba in 1881.

The memorial was located in Mount Prospect Cemetery. This is an old postcard but I can only assume that the memorial is still there. Hopefully someone can provide a modern photograph.

This photo:

would indicate that the original memorial was replaced at some point in the past.
