Dear Boer War experts group, My grandfather TOM SCOTLAND of Jesmond, Northumberland, England apparently joined the army in 1899 ?: - 5th Battalion of Northumberland Fusiliers and served for 12 months. In around 1900 ?: - He joined the 100th Company of Imperial Yeomanry and served for 18 months in South Africa (Boer War). I am obviously looking for further information on his service. He did survive and joined up for WW1 service in the 10th Australian Light Horse in Egypt. He also just survived this episode. This period provides no connection to his British service however. Where do I go from here? regards Peter Scotland ----- Original Message ----- From: BOER-WAR-D-request@rootsweb.com To: BOER-WAR-D@rootsweb.com Sent: Friday, May 20, 2005 12:00 AM Subject: BOER-WAR-D Digest V05 #59
