Hi , I am new to this site.
Could anyone advise me where I could find a gravesite where my greatgrandfather may be buried after being killed in action in a skirmish at Allemand Nek

Hello Morbius
Welcome to the forum.

Can you supply your Great Grandfather's name and any information you may have to help the forum in your question.

Regards
