Gerard I have checked the casualty lists for the 2nd Battalion of the RDF and cannot find a Carron with the 2nd Battalion during the Boer War. Did your Grandfather survive the war? My Ggrandfather, RDF was killed at Colenso, subsequent records were destroyed as I understand the process at that time for deceased personnel.
