I found a headstone in the graveyard in Krugersdorp, Gauteng, South Africa, which read " Pvt J. Clarkson, Worcestershire Regiment - 1900". This grave is in the mass grave section and was re-buried there in 1965 by the South African War Graves Board. I will submit a photograph of the grave and headstone shortly.
