The Renoster River ABW British gravesite and memorial is located near Koppies in the Free State province, South Africa. It commemorates British soldiers who died during the Second Anglo-Boer War (1899–1902), specifically in the vicinity of the Renoster River. The site contains graves of soldiers from the Imperial Yeomanry and other British units who were killed in skirmishes or died of wounds and disease in the area around 1900. The memorial was erected by the Anglo-Boer War (ABW) heritage community to preserve the memory of these casualties. The Renoster River region was a site of active Boer commando operations, and British forces conducted patrols and engagements there during the war. The gravesite is a small, fenced cemetery with headstones, typical of many isolated war graves in the Free State countryside.
