I'm trying to help my Dad find out more about his Uncle who was a member of the Warwickshire Imperial Yeomanry and died whilst serving with Pontoon Troop from Enteric Fever on 21/04/1901.
Whilst it is helpful to know this we would really like to know where he would have been buried.........does anyone know how we can find this out?

Hi Fifi

Post his name and if that information is on one of the casualty rolls, then it can be looked up for you.

Thank you ....
My great uncle is: "Henry Garrett"
His Number was 320

Hi Fifi

320 Drive H Garratt of Pontoon Troop A, Royal Engineers, died of enteritis at Ladysmith General Hospital on 21/04/1900. He is interred in Ladysmith in the town cemetery number 2.

His name is on the main town monument, and on a marble cross in Ladysmith. His name is also in the All Saints Church in Ladysmith.

He was 24 years old. He belonged to the Church of England.

This is from In Memoriam Roll of Honour Imperial Forces by Steve Watt.

Hello Fifi,

Garrett's name is on the Royal Engineers memorial in the Cathedral of St Michael and George in Aldershot and if you get chance to visit Buckinghamshire, stop off at Wendover and walk up to the top of Coombe Hill, you will find a very impressive memorial and his name is also on that too, you need to pick a day with good weather for this latter!
