Hi With the recent reports of increased cemetery vandalism in South Africa and the salvaging of Boer War era metal grave markers for scrap, it would be usefull if we could pool our existing grave photos so that the images at least remain available to future generations. I can probably arrange for HAGSOC to include all the Australian graves (including Australians serving in British or South African units) on it's 'South African Graves' website - see www.hagsoc.org.au/sagraves/index.php Does anyone have photo of the grave with the cross dated 8-5-1901 in Middleburg Cemetery attributed to Capt. John Kelly of the 5th.Victorian Mounted Rifles? It is not included amongst the Middleburg photos at www.hagsoc.org.au/sagraves/photos/za01200.php.
