I just thought i would mention(but if you have done your homework you will know :-)Not many survived that never to be forgotton and tragic Zulu War.I think you might find that any mention of a death in Africa or Zululand as it was then.Will be in cemeteries or on memorials in Wales.Maybe someone on this topic can keep an eye open for you.Then P.M you with any results, good luck in your search.

   Hi Steve, found this in deep bush near( approx 50 miles) Graff Rienet.
            Quite a bit North of Nysna, Port Elizabeth and Bedford.

              There were other gravestones, but they read as Dutch in origin.

                                                   Lesanne.

Here is an Aussie bush grave - my ggrandfather.  We knew it was west of Quilpie in western Queensland, but not exactly where - and there are hundreds of square miles of semi-arid country out there!  However, the Quilpie Shire Council has managed to locate it, and two cousins and I are off on a long trek - over 800 kilometres in each direction - to see it!  He died while staying with two sons on their property, and of course he had to be buried there.  In good order for a grave that no family member has maintained, isn't it?

Marie

That is wonderful!   I'm sure you will all feel very emotional when you get there so best pack a large box of tissues!   Hope you will report back to us.

Marie!  So glad you have managed to locate that grave, many folks may not realise that Quilpie is a very remote town in the middle of alot of uninhabited country, so to have had the council find the place for you is such a boon.

Thanks for those kind words, JillJ, Graceland and Prue!

And yes, three cheers for Sally, this seems like a very good offer!  May I ask if it is going to be for just the counties that are there now, or just for the British Isles, or more general??

Can I highlight that we do have offers and requests boards in the counties on Rootschat and would more than welcome posts.
