Clowes. - Lieut. Graham Vinicombe Winchester Clowes, 1st Batt. Gordon Highlanders, attached to De Lisle’s M.I., was killed in action near Doom River Jan. 30th, 1901. He was the son of the late Winchester Clowes, Esq., of Hitchin, Hertfordshire, and grandson of the late George Clowes, of Oak Hill, Surbiton. He was born in Oct., 1880, educated at Eton (Mr. Mozley’s), and entered the Gordon Highlanders in Oct., 1899, being promoted lieut. Aug. 1st, 1900. When killed he was serving with the M.I. of his Battalion.

Note: His grave is 41km east from Clanwilliam on the Wuppertha road. His parents went to South Africa once a year to visit his grave site. They used to travel by train to Graafwater, the nearest railway station, and then to his grave with anybody that could give them a lift. They spent the day at the grave and went back to Cape Town the same day. This continued until 1936.

There were two Lowes brothers in the British Army during the Anglo Boer War. The surviving brother went on foot to the nearest farmhouse at the foot of the Pakhuis Pass, the name of the farm was Frisdalen, where two sisters, Carolina and Jacomina Bergh, lived. He asked them to look after the grave. The British Government erected the gravestone as well as the fencing. These two ladies visited his grave three times a year, namely on his birthday, on the anniversary of his death and on Christmas Day. They drove there with a ‘spider’ until about 1950, when they became to old to do it anymore. They planted a gum tree next to Lt. Clowes' grave. There was a trust that was supposed to look after the grave but currently there is nobody looking after it. His parents erected a Memorial Stone at Eton College where, as a student, he sang in the school choir.
