Hello listers, I wonder if any of you can help me with A. CRICKMORE, who died of enteric fever in 1901 at Piet Retief. Particularly useful would be a first name and age, but every little bit helps... Thank you very much, John Lobb Researching in SA Crickmore, Lobb, Benson, Clements

Hello John, Although this is not exactly what you are looking for I can confirm that Civilian Conductor A. Crickmore, attached Army Service Corps, died of enteric at Piet Retief 17/3/1901. His place of burial is unknown and no more details are given in the reference I have. There is one other man of the same name who died in the Boer War and you may be interested in his details. Trooper J.R. Crickmore, Natal Mounted Rifles, was killed by shellfire at Ladysmith 30/11/1899 and is buried in Ladysmith Town Cemetery. No individual grave marker survives but his name is on the cemetery memorial and on the panels commemorating those who died during the siege or relief of Ladysmith at All Saint's Church in Ladysmith.
