Welcome to the site. The Palmer Casualty roll shows "2600 Bdr/Whr Inman (no initial shown) of 5th Bty., RFA as Killed in Action, Ventersburg, 3/8/00". Mt RA CD shows his initial was "J". His QSA medal was issued 17/3/03 and it bore the clasps Cape Colony and Orange Free State. The activities of 5th Byt., RFA are covered basically in Stirling's "Our Regiments in South Africa" and also in "The Work of the 9th Div.". If you like, later on I can delve as deeply into 5th RFA as the books allow.

His name appears on the British Memorial in Kroonstad North Cemetery.
