Do his service records state where he was buried? If you don't know that, then getting a picture of his grave, if he has one, will pose problems.

In reply #6 you said you had his service record, but 5 months later in post #7 you asked where he might be buried.

See http://www.eggsa.org/library/main.php?g2_itemId=627188 and http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=gnIcAI-sPeoC&pg=PA178&lpg=PA178&dq=vredefort+boer+war+cemetery&source=bl&ots=oCMlvJinJm&sig=sMmJp-c2yjBBCOd9UAjT1cjkzRw&hl=en#v=onepage&q=vredefort%20boer%20war%20cemetery&f=false

But us bumpkins from Bedfordshire are possibly not the best people to be asking about an Irishman who died in South Africa.
