Albrecht , Henry (H)

Battle of Wagon Hill / Caesar's Camp (Slag van Platrand): A Self-Guided Anglo-Boer War Battlefield Trail, Ladysmith Siege Museum Trust (Just Done Productions, Durban, 2006; revised ed., Eugene Campher).: Trooper Henry Albrecht, Imperial Light Horse, killed 6 Jan 1900 at Wagon Point -- awarded the Victoria Cross posthumously, one of 5 VCs awarded for the battle. Not previously on the ROH; the database currently has no Imperial Light Horse casualties at all for January 1900, despite the ILH suffering 3 officers and 25 NCOs killed at this single battle -- a likely significant gap for future research (a proper ILH Boer War roll, similar to the DLI/Natal Carbineers rolls already used this session, would be the right next source).
