The War Memorial for the 12 members of the ZARP (Zuid-Afrikaansche Republiek Politie) that lost their lives at the Battle of Berg-en-Dal is located in Belfast, Mpumalanga. The memorial was erected in 1935 to commemorate the ZARP members who died during the Battle of Berg-en-Dal, which took place on 21–27 August 1900 during the Second Anglo-Boer War (1899–1902). The ZARP was the police force of the South African Republic (Transvaal), and at Berg-en-Dal, they fought against British forces under General Buller. The battle was part of the larger campaign to break Boer resistance in the eastern Transvaal. The memorial stands as a tribute to the specific unit and the casualties they suffered in this engagement.
