I agree. There is a Mooimeisiesfontein in the Western Cape and there are several farms with that name in the Transvaal. Does anyone know the location of the memorial?

A more general comment on officer casualties:
Killed in action:
Officers: 518 of 17,559 killed = 2.95%
NCOs and men: 5,256 of 430,876 killed = 1.22%

The 2-fold excess of officer casualties was ascribed by several commentators to the fact that oficers stood up needlessly in battle.
The ratio of killed to wounded was low: 1 killed to 3.5 wounded amongst officers, and 1 killed to 3.9 wounded amongst other ranks.
Less than one in ten wounded men would go on to later die of their wounds.
