Officers and men of other counties belonging to the Suffolk Regiment who were killed or died of wounds or disease. Note: Colesburg and Rensburg are close to each other. On and around 6th January 1900 the Suffolks were at Colesburg and ordered to occupy a hill at Rensburg. They advanced up the hill in darkness and the Boers were entrenched at the top. The Boers waited for them to get within yards and then opened up with accurate rifle fire. This caused confusion among the Suffolks, some ran back down the hill, others stood around in the confusion getting picked off. Many were captured. It seems they took a lot of officer casualties because the Boers picked them off while they stood at the front of their men.
Officers:
Lt. Col. Arthur John Watson	Killed in action at Rensburg, 6th January 1900, age 46, commanding officer 1st Battalion, The Suffolk Regiment.
