Hi Listers I am new to the list. I am wondering how I can track whether or not our George Whitehead b.1874 Brimington, Derbys, participated in the Boer-War. He is missing on the 1901 Census. His brother, Joseph, b.1871Brimington was in that war, so I'm wondering if George joined up, too. This is what we have on Joseph: (Info from my cousin): "Medical Orderly in 2nd Battalion Notts. & Derby (Sherwood Foresters) The Medal Rolls for the Sherwood Foresters (WO /100) list one Joseph Whitehead on the roll for the India Medal 1895 and he is 3724 Private J. Whitehead, with bars Punjab Frontier 1897-98 and Tirah 1897-98. At this time it was the 2nd Battalion who were serving in India, and they served from 1882 - 1898. Joseph was then transferred to the 1st Battalion as many did then, to take part in the Boer War. He appears on the roll of the 1st Btn, 3724 Pte J Whitehead, Queens South Africa Medal, bars Johannesburg, Cape Colony, Orange Free State and then again on the Kings South Africa Medal with bars, South Africa 1901, South Africa 1902. " Any ideas on how I can go about finding out? Regards Caroline Boston (nee Whitehead) Ontario, Canada
