Phillip Rudolph Prinsloo was born in Barberton in 1895, the son of Helena Catharina Prinsloo of Edenburg Township, Witkopjes, Transvaal. He attested for the 2nd South African Infantry at Roberts Heights on 13 March 1916, the medical examination recording evidence of a former ‘bullet wound below calf, left leg’, and his papers stating his religion as Dutch Reformed. Disembarked at Rouen on 23 October 1917, he was wounded in action on the Western Front on 10 January 1918 and was sent to No. 55 Casualty Clearing Station. Stated as a gunshot wound to the shoulder, the injury resulted in his death two weeks later, possibly in consequence of complications such as blood poisoning. Aged 20 years, he was buried at Tincourt New British Cemetery, a few miles to the east of Peronne, France.
