Hello Judy, Major Frank Buckley is a very famous name in the history of football but I didn't know he fought in the Boer War as well. Unfortunately there is no single list of men who fought in the Boer War. The nearest to such a thing are the Queen's South Africa Medal Rolls but these are arranged by unit so it's necessary to know the unit first. Do you know if he served in the Boer War as a subaltern and worked his way up to major during continuous service in the army or if he joined as a recruit for the Boer War, left the army and rejoined for WW1? His service papers may survive but it would make it easier to have a search done and indicate the chances of finding them if you know this. Soldiers serving in SA at the time of the 1901 census were not included in it.
