You will see there is a Boer war nominal roll. You can search that. It is copied from Murray's "Record of Australian Contingents to the War In South Africa 1899-1902". From the actual book 201 Private Albert William CHRISTIE was a member of The Fourth (Queensland Imperial Bushmen) Contingent He is noted as "care of Mrs. Thos. CHRISTIE, Limestone Street, IPSWICH" in this contingent. In the Seventh Australian Commonwealth Horse there is a 19 Corporal Albert William CHRISTIE Any of his Queensland (pre 1901) records will be with Queensland State Archives, and will probably be only his enlistment details. The Seventh Australian Horse was a post federation unit, and as such any records (again probably only enlistment details) will be with National Archives of Australia. Best Wishes Phillip MURPHY
