The war was over in 1902 so he would not be classed as a war casualty. In MEMORIAM goes up until 1913 and there is a H.Wardell no regiment or rank known who died 14/05/1903. But the author does not know of what. Although his grave has been found at a Johannesburg cemetery he is not on the war memorial suggesting that he may have worked for the army after the war but did not die during hostilities. I also have copies of the casualty returns sent to the war office every six months up until the end of the war but his death falls outside that period. John JOHN CRONIN CHRISTCHURCH DORSET
