The resting place for some at City Road

I’m unsure from what source(s) the original of this list was drawn up but as with many such compilations, it should be treated with caution as it may not be the comprehensive document researchers assume or would hope for. If as I understand, it’s supposed to include both survivors and the dead on the South African War I can confirm that there’s at least one omission …that of my Grandfather who lived in the St Vincent’s District of the City and served in SA between 1899/ 1902 as: 6493 Riley Joseph Pte 2/East Yorkshire Regt …his service being confirmed in the official Medal Rolls for that War….documents which, so far as I know, have only been available to the Public in recent ( ‘Ancestry’ ) times.
