Summary
[edit]DescriptionTHE MEN WHO WOULD NOT MARCH. CONCORDIA, NORTHERN CAPE MONUMENT.jpg |
English: Text: "THE MEN WHO WOULD NOT MARCH. / This memorial honours Captain Francis Phillips and his 110 / comrades in the Concordia Town Guard for their actions on April 4 / 1902. The Coloured population of Concordia were in danger / because the men, who in their everyday lives were mine labourers in / the Namaqua Copper Company, had willingly joined the Town Guard / raised by the British under martial law. If overrun, they faced / massacre by a 1,000-strong Boer force under General J.C. Smuts. / But when ordered to march the 15km to the stronghold of O'okiep / when the Boers approached these men, Nama, Coloured and / British mutinied and refused to leave without their families. Their / armed presence daunted the Boers and Concordia was saved thanks / to the love and courage of these men honoured on this monument."
