In Lichtenburg next to the museum is a statue in honour of Genl. De la Rey.
General De la Rey
Koos de la Rey was a Boer general during the Boer War and is widely regarded as being one of the strongest military leaders during that conflict.
He is generally regarded as the bravest of the Boer generals during the Second Boer War and as one of the leading figures of Boer independence. As a guerrilla, his tactics proved extremely successful. De la Rey opposed the war until the last, but when he was once accused of cowardice he replied that if the time for war came, he would be fighting long after all those clamoring for war had given up.
This proved to be the case.
In Lichtenburg's old graveyard is General Koos de la Rey's grave.
At the battle of Modderriver one of Koos de la Rey's sons were killed. His grave is right beside that of his father.
