    1. [BOER-WAR] South African Constabulary
    2. Dear listers We are researching WALTER BENHAM .. Born 13th April 1877 at New Alresford Hants UK He married Charlotte Bowles on 26th December 1904 at Blindley Heath near Godstone Sy. He was known to have served in the South African Constabulary (mounted police). We are trying to identify him from a photograph which we can be seen on a web page as follows <A HREF="www.pjrpix.co.uk/wb">Click here: www.pjrpix.co.uk/wb</A> Can anyone confirm that this is perhaps the uniform of the Boer War? In 1900 we believe he was living at Abinger Hammer or Godstone on the Surrey/Sussex border. Is there any where we can find out where he enlisted and on which ship he travelled to South Africa and the campaigns he was likely to have been involved in? Many thanks Peter Ruffle
