Not listed on this memorial is a Scottish Sharpshooter invalided home.

Here is his gravestone in Inverness. posted on the SWGF by Ghostwhisperer.

Here sleeps in Jesus David MacKenzie who served in the Boer War 1900-1901 as a Trooper in the Imperial Yeomanry (Scottish Sharpshooters). He was invalided home and after great suffering bravely borne, joyfully gave up his life for his Country and passed to heavenly rest, 23rd July 1902. I thank my God for every remembrance of you. To his dear memory this stone is raised by his mother sisters and brother.

Note his slouch hat with 'S S' on the upturned brim
