Bombay South African War memorial.

In 1903 relatives, comrades and friends of Troopers Bertram Oscar O'Neil and John Thompson Manning, who died after service in the South African War, erected a memorial to them in the cemetery at St Peter's in the Forest Anglican Church, Bombay.

Troopers of the Pukekohe Mounted Rifles were present at the unveiling. In 1909 an inscription to commemorate Thomas O'Neill (Bertram's father?) was added.
