Description
Mr R Osborne, RSL Bathurst Branch President, attaches a plate bearing Lieutenant (Lt) P J Handcock's name to the Bathurst South African Memorial. Lt Handcock's name was one of a number omitted by committees appointed to deal with memorial matters. It was through the efforts of a later generation of the Handcock family that saw his name added. The ceremony was attended by many of Lt Handcock's relatives. Lt Handcock was tried on five charges of murder and received two sentences of death, and, along with Lt Henry 'Harry' Harbord Morant, was shot by a firing party on the morning of 27 February 1902. Their bodies were placed into the same grave in a quiet civilian section of Pretoria's Church Street Cemetery.
