It's also known as Brookfields Cemetery, and is in the Hockley district of Birmingham. Two ABW fatalities recorded on family gravestones here, and possibly one who died after his active service was over.

9118 Rifleman William Frederick Charles Long, 2nd King's Royal Rifle Corps. Killed in action at Acton Homes, South Africa, on 18th January 1900, aged 23. Son of Charles John and the late Hannah Long, he was born in Aston, in the second quarter of 1876.

Andrews Sydney Kerby, died at Beaconsfield, South Africa, on 28th August 1900, aged 38. He was the son of William and Maria Louisa Kerby, and was born in Kingston upon Hull, fourth quarter of 1861. An A. S. Kerby served in the Kimberley Town Guard during the war, and Beaconsfield is now a suburb of Kimberley, but in 1900 was a separate place, so were Andrews Sydney Kerby and A. S. Kerby the same man?
