2. Lt. W M J Hannah, 1st Leicestershire Regt, killed on 21 October 1899
3. Brevet Maj Robert Bruce Blunt, Lancashire Fusiliers, who died of wounds received in February 1902.

Thank you for posting these pictures. It is very gratifying to see the churchyard is still well cared for. By contrast, the last time I saw St Matthew's Church in Estcourt, which I once attended and where my father was a sidesman, the Church was closed and the cemetery was in a disgraceful state of neglect.
Regards
Brett

Brett,

All the graveyards I have seen around Dundee have been well cared for and that is excellent to see. I will post some pictures of the combined British/Boer monument at the Swedish Mission which is suffering from the environment more than from anything else.
