The ABO Engelse grafte (English Graves) in Jacobsdal, Free State, are a burial site for British soldiers who died during the Second Anglo-Boer War (1899–1902). The graves are located near the town, which was a strategic point during the war due to its proximity to the Modder River and the railway line. Jacobsdal was occupied by British forces in early 1900, and the graves likely contain casualties from skirmishes or disease, which was a major cause of death among troops. The site is maintained as a historical cemetery, reflecting the war's impact on the region.
