My Grandfather died in      Sekondi Accra 9/9/1920
He had gone to South Africa in 1901 to anglo boer war
Imperial infantry ,6th dragoon guards 9years , Transvaal Scottish 101/2 months
Then with The south African Infantry 3rd to WW1 he survived the war and went back to The Gold Coast where he died. From, Exhaustion & Melignant Disease of Intestines. In The colonial Hospital, Secondee,  buried in (it looks like Chamase? Or Chavish? road, cemetery Secondee) (sekondi)

William Graham Europian (Nat) Miner (Occ.,) it does not say anything about him being a serviceman. This puzzles me. The death Cert., I have  is very impressive  and is signed by G Guggisberg, Governer of the Gold Coast Colony .
I have read through the excellent lists and informative data. Of Ghana And was wondering if anyone may know of the cemetery most likely that my Grandfather was buried in.
Thank You.
