Here are a few screen shots taken in Second Life - the online user created virtual world. The ground appears white since it seems it is winter in Second Life.

A memorial to the Prince Imperial:

Nice graphics, but unfortunately spoiled for me by poor spelling.

Passing over the spelling of "Isandhlwana" because I am aware of the controversy there, I will not however, accept "Januray" as "modern spik" for January. I loath and hate cellular texting for what it has done to the glorious English language

I did not notice the January error before but had figured that the old style spelling of "Isandhlwana" may have been used since that is the way (I assume) that it may have been on the original memorial? Never having seen a close up of the original that is only a guess on my part. I was simply surprised to find these while wandering about in this "virtual world". If I can find that location again I will leave a note with the owner about the date error.
