Summary

Description
Afrikaans: Inskrif op die Moordkoppie-monument naby Dingaanstat wat die slagting van die voortrekkerleier Piet Retief (57) en sy gevolg van 72 manne, 14 seuns (3 minderjarig), en 30+ agterryers op Dinsdag, 6 Februarie 1838, gedenk. Die monument wat in 1922 opgerig is, kyk uit oor die massagraf, waarin die oorskot van die oorledenes op 21 Desember 1838 deur die Wenkommando begrawe is. Die vier onderstreepte name verskyn op die Retief-Dingaan Traktaat. Gades en kinders van gemerkte* name word 10/11 dae later tydens die Bloukransmoorde vermoor. Van A. van Dijk se 11 kinders oorleef wel een. Kommandant Abraham C. Greyling (38) was Piet Retief se stiefseun, en Kommandant Pieter (L.P.J.) Meyer (26) sy skoonseun. M.J. Oosthuijse (c.47) was die vader van twee Oosthuijse-broers op die lys, en van Tienie Oosthuijse wat die omsingeldes by Rensburgkoppie bygestaan het.

The monument, dating from 1922, overlooks the mass grave in which the remains of the deceased were buried by the Wen commando on 21 December 1838.

Of A. van Dijk's 11 children one did survive. Kommandant Abraham C. Greyling (38) was Piet Retief's stepson and Commandant Pieter (L. P. J.) Meyer (26) his son-in-law. M. J. Oosthuijse (c.47) was the father of two Oosthuijse brothers on the list, and besides of Tienie Oosthuijse, who heroically assisted the encircled defenders of Rensburgkoppie.
