Memorial

"Trooper P. Gunn, who left Oundle [Northamptonshire] to join the Bucks Imperial Yeomanry for service in the Transvaal, was invalided home from enteric fever, but just before reaching Gravesend, on Saturday, a relapse set in and he succumbed."
The Lincoln, Rutland and Stamford Mercury, Friday 15th June 1900

P. H. Gunn is named on the Buckinghamshire County memorial, as a member of the10th Battalion 2nd Bucks Squadron, Imperial Yeomanry.

The death of a Philip Henry Gunn was registered at Strood, Kent, in the second quarter (April-June) of 1900. If it's the same man, doesn't that mean he was buried on land somewhere?

Thank you. I found a mention of his death in the Western Gazette, 12th April 1901.

The hospital ship Orcano arrived at Southampton yesterday from South Africa. Three deaths occurred during the voyage, namely, Corporal Woods, Northumberland Fusiliers; Private Black, Seaforth Highlanders; and Private Burke, Munster Fusiliers.
