182623 Ordinary Seaman Charles Ernest MINSHAW (died, Ladysmith, 25/02/1900) is buried in the third row at Intombi Cemetery...



.List of names of those buried at Intombi Camp Cemetery (Third Row)




Photograph of Intombi Camp Cemetery. Some, but not all of the Powerful men's graves were marked with crosses like the one to 169637 Able Seaman Edward Frost DUNN in the foreground. Minshaw died just twelve days after Dunn, so he would have been buried close by.
