Hi All, On a recent visit to some family graves at East Cemetery in East London, South Africa, some nearby Military Type War Graves caught my eye. Two (2) of them very old type Headstones reading :- Pte Thomas Thorne, 4 Battn The P.A. Somerset L.I. 5 October 1900, Age 41 Pte Victor Edward Bagnell, 13 August 1900, Age 18 years 5 months. There are a further eight (8) more modern WW2 type Headstones reading :- Pte Bradley J. 4 Cheshire, 25 December 1900 32894 Pte Oettinger / Dettinger M.
