Subject: Re: [SOUTH-AFRICA] Greeff graves at Sanddrift
I only have a single headstone as I am only interested in the War Grave side of things and was in Sanddrift last Sunday. I will send the photograph. I will check on my database as I may also have one from Kimberley that I took earlier this year, and next April there is one in Upington the I will get while I am there. GREEFF P J A Private #227426 GREEFF H J Private #149 GREEFF, Daniel Magiel Private #270 The last one is a casualty from the WWI conflict against the Germans in SWA.
A Special Memorial probably means that his original grave cannot be exactly
located in Port Nolloth. As I have to go there also in April I will check.
