The Old Fort

This one speaks for itself. Just in case the writing on the plaque is not clear:

The Old Fort

In 1908 the British War Office leased it to the Durban Light Infantry and in due course this lease was continued by the Union Defence Dept.
In 1935 it was vested in the Historical Monuments Commission and in 1939 the commission handed over the curatorship of the property to the Durban City Council, by whom itis now maintained in conjunction with the commission and the Royal Durban Light Infantry Comrades Association.
