Samcro Boksburg?
It is like nothing I have ever seen or can remember seeing in the 1970's!

Samcro in Boksburg is a firm that manufactures head stones and memorials etc.

These plaques on the memorial have been added in the recent past indicating that the originals were either destroyed or stolen, a rather all to common occurrence these days !!!

Hello Adrian,
What was actually there before, an embossed wrought iron plaque perhaps?
Regards Frank

Rory,

There are good accounts of the action in the appendices of 'The Story of the 34th Company Imperial Yeomanry' by William Corner.

The cutting is from the 'Yorkshire Post' 31st December 1901.

Best wishes,

Justin

Alphonso Stott was a 20 year old clerk from Alne near York, his father had the Station Hotel in the village, he joined the Imperial Yeomanry on the 20th of January 1901 with service in South Africa from the 15th of March 1901.

Frank,

I would had thought that it would have been a marble panel with the names engraved upon it as shown below.

The marble paneled memorial dates around the early 1960's when the decision was made to centralise many of the outlying graves into Gardens of Remembrance.

Adrian
