Hi

Could anyone point me in the direction of the memorial for the Imperial Light Horse at Spion Kop please. I can find the Waggon Hill one, but not Spion Kop, thanks.

ILH were not present on Spion Kop as a unit. I suppose there might have been a couple of "odd men" - otherwise no.
IL.

The Imperial Light Infantry was the dismounted partner of the ILH and men from the ILI did take part in the Spioenkop battle and had many casualties. Their memorial on Spioenkop is shown below.

I have been gazing at that superb picture Brett. It makes me want to come back to SA.

Good morning David,
I like that blue sky, all I have here is grey cloud
