Hello
I am seeking information on a local young man named Evan Lewis Richards of the Royal Hussars Artillery. As far as I know, he died at Capetown in 1900 of disease and his gravestone is at Hephziban (graveyard?). I have tried to locate his gravestone to no avail and I hope you help with details and or advice.

Thank you

Royal Hussars Artillery?? Could be said to be a contradiction in terms as Hussars were Cavalry.

Local?? Based on your post 4 years ago re Arthur Adams I think "local" could be Monmouthshire.

An Evan Richards (born in Bedwas, Monmouthshire) served in the 30th (Pembrokeshire) Company, Imperial Yeomanry and died of enteric fever on 25 May 1900 in Cape Town. His attestation papers and short servie record can be found on Ancestry.
