Capt. Clarke's unit had surprised Boers early one morning on the farm Rooikranz in the mountainous area near Harrismith-Kestell. The search was difficult due to a lot of fog that day. As Capt Clarke peered over a ledge, he was fatally wounded by a Boer standing below the ledge. His men took him to the nearby farm house. Later that day he died and was buried near the house. Years later his remains were reburied with other British soldiers in the town of Bethlehem, South Africa.
