SYDENHAM MILITARY CEMETERY (BLOEMFONTEIN) South Africa

Last exit on N1 if leaving Bloemfontein or first exit if coming from Colesburg on the N1. You will see a very tall Caltex and a small BP sign, and this is the off ramp for connecting to the N6. Take the right fork in the road (to East London) then take the first dirt road and see old remains of brick buildings. Continue driving in the field (no road) for 500 m until you reach a group of trees in a square. The Sydenham Military Cemetery is located here.

Caution: do not leave vehicle by highway - top crime area, if driving in, watch for debris that could hit oil pan.
