War memorial, erected in 1946 in memory of the 'boys of Hanover' killed in the Second World War. The monument's fishpond acquired an 'apron' of barbed wire and netting in the early 1990s, to protect, according to a municipal official, its 'abundant goldfish' from birds and to prevent children from paddling in its waters. No one recalls when the pond dried up. Hanover, Northern Cape. 12 February 2005 (4_9602)
