At Sannas Post, outside Bloemfontein there are around 25 head stones bearing the names of 25 British soldiers who were killed in action. To this day nobody knows were the remains are buried. Two years ago on one of my visits to the Railway station where the troops were held up during the battle, the curator of the museum showed me a photo he had taken of the garden to the left of the railway station and in the photo is an a ghostly image of a british soldier standing on a pile of stones. I suspect that is where they are buried, right next to the station. If one goes into a room on the right of the station, you can still see the blood on the cement floor of the dead soldiers who were placed there after the battle before they were buried. The officer in charge was a Robert George Broadwood. Please if anybody is interested in more information, you can contact me at my office in Cape Town. mike@precisionmeters.co.za
