Hi Carol - 3071 Pte. H. Heigold, 1st Battalion West Riding Regiment, is shown in my references as having been mortally wounded at the Battle of Paardeberg 18/2/1900, dying the same day. Such a discrepancy with contemporary newspaper reports (compiled from information supplied by the War Office) is not uncommon. He is shown as having been originally buried at Thornbury Cemetery, Paardeberg but exhumed and reinterred at Vendusie Drift Cemetery, Paardeberg. His religion is shown as Jewish. No individual grave marker survives but his name is shown on the regimental memorial at the cemetery. The CD-ROM I have covers only men of the British army who died in WW1.

He was killed by gunshot March 13 2000, at Jacobsdal. As there were not very many Heigolds in England at that time I would like to find out more about him and was wondering if there is any information available on the CD that you mentioned.

Hello David, Sorry, I didn't read your message carefully enough this morning and missed the part about the CD covering WW1. I don't believe this Heigold is related as the Heigolds I am researching were all Pork Butchers which I don't believe people of the Jewish faith would have been. Thanks for the information on Pte Heigold though. I will keep this on file as you never know what you will find down the road. Would you mind looking on the CD for a John Schneider, #32190 York and Lancaster Regiment, who was killed in France in WW1?
