Since the vandalised cenotaph in Du Toitspan Road, Kimberley, was fenced off, the homeless people who used to sleep next to it has moved to the gun. This is a memorial dedicated to members of the Kimber­ley Cape Coloured Corps who died in the Battle of Square Hill in World War I. The fence around the gun has not materialised yet, although holes for the poles were made many months ago.
