From Meurig in the BMF.....

For the un-identified casualties this is who I reckon they are:

BM Gray - Sgt-Mjr 3550 B Gray Gloucesters 19-12-1899
W Burton - Pte 4773 W Burton 18th Hussars 22-12-1899
A Goldwell - Stoker 175748 A Caldwell HMS Powerful 14-12-1899
J Grey - L-Cpl 95283 J Gray Ammunition Column RFA 23-12-1899

Clarke - can you post a picture of the grave marker? As you say they are many - I count 7 "Clarke"s who died between Jan 6 and Feb 18 1900.

Regards
Meurig
