The fenced outline of the memorial, and line of planting is reputed to be the outline of the square.

Looking at Franks last photo , if you walk through the memorial , you will come to the Cemetery , which is visible through the archway , the cemetery is located where the 90th Regt stood in the Square / Rectangle . Ondini is also visible from that front face , you can also see the Ulundi Battlefield Monument from Ondini ! . Ondini would be on the mountain which is basically obscured , left of centre .
90th Very Happy
