Cemetery information:- According to Paul Ash - A blast from the pass: "The upper reaches of the Hex River mountains are a lonely and desolate place for a train wreck. On a wind-scoured slope a few miles below the summit of the railway pass, there is a stone obelisk with the names of soldiers of the Kaffrarian Rifles, whose troop train rolled off the tracks here during the night of September 26 1914." https://www.timeslive.co.za/sunday-times/lifestyle/travel/2011-10-23-a-blast-from-the-pass/ Album complete. eGGSA captions by: James Anderson The GGSA Cemetery DVD only has information on the cemetery location.
