John William Abrahamse was born in Cape Town and attested for the 1st South African Infantry at Potchefstroom in August 1917.

Bryan Hugh Kelly served with the 2nd South African Infantry during the Battle of the Somme and was severely wounded in action by shellfire at Moutaubin on 10 July 1916; his service record states wounds to both legs, neck and back, with ‘several small pieces of shrapnel’ left inside his body. Evacuated to the South African Military Hospital at Richmond Park, he was discharged medically unfit at Wynberg on 7 August 1917.
Thomas Edward Knott was born in Kimberley in 1896 and attested for the 1st South African Infantry at Potchefstroom on 24 September 1915, stating 9 months of previous service with the Kalahari Horse.
