Could SKS please check the Boer War casualty lists for the name THOMAS SMITH. He spent most of his life in the English Army - first with the 34th Regiment, then after 1881 with the 4th Batallion of the West Yorkshire Militia. Family lore has it that he was killed in the Boer War but I have yet to find any proof. All leads would be appreciated. Connie Hinckley

Hello Connie, There were 21 men called T. Smith, including some listed with a second initial, who died in the Boer War but none in the West Yorkshires. The 4th Battalion did serve in SA towards the end of the war but there is no T. Smith of the West Yorkshires shown as wounded or taken prisoner either.
