In All Saints Church, Bingley. Some of the lettering in the lower left corner of the tablet appears to have faded badly as it looks the same in all the close-up photos I took, although most of the rest of the lettering looks to have faded to some extent.


.............This Tablet was erected by the
....................inhabitants of Bingley
................in memory of the Volunteers
.............from Bingley who lost their lives
................in the service of their country
...............during the War in South Africa.

Trooper A. Holmes, Pretoria, 26th April 1901
..............T. Wild, Heilbron, 8th June 1901
..................Smith, Rhebukfontein, 1st August 1901


I won't swear to it that Wild's first-name initial is T.

Could Smith's be G?

I'd guess that Wild's and Smith's ranks were also Trooper. There doesn't appear to be any rank given for either of them, so perhaps ditto signs have faded..
