Additional Information
Son of Mr. P. N. Badenhorst, of Anerley, Kwazulu Natal. He is buried in Port Shepstone but as Mark Brady Badenhorst. Those were the names his dad always wanted to give him, but he gave in to family pressure and was named him Petrus Johannes (family names carried down generations). His dad decided it was hard enough to have to lay his son to rest, and would therefore bury him as Mark Brady, the names he always wanted to give his son.
