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.

On the Litany desk in All Saints Church in Ladysmith is the following inscription:

“To the Glory of God and in ever loving memory of HERBERT SCHOLFIELD SYKES, Royal Scots Fusiliers, born at the Manor, Adel, Yorkshire, June 23rd 1863, and was killed at the battle of Pieter’s Hill, which led to the relief of Ladysmith, February 27th 1900”

This man is also commemorated in his home town, in Adel Church

David, I understand that the Church has panels on the wall with a list of those men who fell. I don't have pictures of all the panels but here is the Gordons section
