This is a transcription of a memorial taken from "For Remembrance and in Honour of those who lost their Lives in the South African War 1899-1902" by Sir James Gildea, published in 1911. This is a book which documents Boer War memorials in both Britain and abroad. Many of them make reference to Scottish Regiments.

Due to the age of the book, and the fact that this is a transcription, this memorial may no longer exist or be in the location as posted. I put this information online for reference. If anyone can provide a photo of this memorial we would be eternally grateful.

Quote:
“In loving memory of ALEXANDER CHARLES GOING, Captain, King’s Own Scottish Borderers. Dearly loved son of Alexander and Wilhelmina Going, of ALTAVILLA. Killed in action at Karree, South Africa, 29th March 1900, aged 33 years. His blameless life was crowned by a Christian soldier’s death in the service of Queen and Country.”
