Re death of Tpr H. Flowers, 34th Imperial Yeomanry, the death is listed by the English GRO or General Registry Office which is part of the ONS or Office of National Statistics, so you should be able to get a death certificate from them. He is on fiche F535 (Flowers, H. 34 Imp Yeo) as listed on page 818 of the Register. Ref. English GRO (General Registry Office) Overseas or "ancillary" death registration (index) fiches ONS No. F533-F539: "Natal and South African Field Force Deaths 1899-1902 (Regular and Irregular Forces)" which is for Boer War deaths. http://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/research/searchingforoverseasrecords/ Though from the sample in Kitzmuller's "In Search of the Folorn Hope" the military death certificates do not have much information on them ie initials not forenames and age perhaps but no birth date/place or parents!
