The Boer Soldier Graves in Heidelberg, Gauteng, date to the Second Anglo-Boer War (1899–1902). These graves are located in the Heidelberg Cemetery and contain the remains of Boer soldiers who died during the conflict, particularly in the final year of the war, 1902. Heidelberg served as a strategic town during the war, with the British occupying it in 1900 after the Battle of Bergendal. The graves are a somber reminder of the casualties suffered by the Boer forces, including those who died from wounds or disease in the area. The site is maintained as part of the town's heritage, though specific details about the number of burials or individual identities are limited in public records.
