This plaque is on display in the regimental museum, at Carlisle Castle, but no indication of where it was originally. One of the staff said he'd try to find out where it came to the museum from, but I never heard back.

2022 edit: The plaque was originally in St Nicholas's Church, Whitehaven.

Palmer shows as follows -
T.Green ("6230 Pte. T. Green, Died of Disease, Johannesburg, 4/2/01 1st E.Lancs")
J.Rogers (the only fit seems to be "5965 Pte. J.Rogers, Died of Disease, Bloemfontein, 14/2/01 3Rl.Lancaster.Regt")
H.Fitzsimmons ("2412 Pte. H.Fitzsimmons, Died of Disease, Pretoria, 1/12/00, Ist Border. SAFF adds "3rd Bn, MR, attached to 2 Wilts Regt")
M.Young ("1007 Pte. M.Young, Died of Disease, Mooi River, 3/2/01, 1st Border")
J.Routledge ("2382 Pte. J.Routledge, Died of Disease, Johannesburg, 20/3/01, Border Regt").
