EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative Old Bill plaque commemorates the historic Old Fort Shell Hole in Durban, South Africa, a significant site in the annals of World War I. The Old Fort, originally built in 1856 to protect the British settlement from Zulu attacks, served as a military hospital during the First World War. The Shell Hole, a large crater created by an exploding shell during the Battle of Durban Bay in 1914, was later converted into a convalescent facility for wounded soldiers. The Old Bill plaque, a piece of commemorative ware, pays tribute to the 1st Great Military Regiments that were stationed at the Old Fort during the war. The term "Old Bill" was a common nickname for British soldiers during this period. The plaque features intricate designs and inscriptions, including the emblems of various regiments, such as the Royal Scots Fusiliers, the Royal Welch Fusiliers, and the Royal Irish Rifles. The Old Fort Shell Hole holds immense historical significance as a symbol of resilience and healing during a time of war. The site, now a popular tourist attraction, serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by soldiers and their families during the First World War. This Old Bill plaque, with its intricate details and rich history, is a testament to the bravery and determination of those who served and the enduring legacy of the Old Fort in Durban, South Africa.
