There was a W Bellwood and a H.Padgett in the 2nd Battalion (Prince of Wales's Own) West Yorkshire Regiment; also a 5369 Private A. Keighley, who died on the 19th December 1901.

Kroonstad North Cemetery

There's also a memorial to Slater in St John's Church, Farsley - westleedsdispatch.com/marks-history-reme...lieut-sydney-slater/
And on Leeds' roll of honour - www.roll-of-honour.com/Yorkshire/LeedsBoerWar.html

Sadly, its doors were closed when I had a wander round the churchyard yesterday - going to Farsley was my first photographic day trip this year. Once we have hotels and B&Bs open again, I can start staying places on Saturday nights, and then get into churches that hold ABW memorials but are only open for Sunday services.
