Good morning Audrey and Danielle, Re tracing a soldier who served in the Boer War. Often it is not indicated where the person posting the request is located or which unit the soldier is thought to have served with. I have a list of men & women who enlisted in Australia in Australian units. I have some names of men with an Aussie conection who enlisted in South Africa in Colonial units. I also have a little info on NZers and Canadians. With the British Regiments you have to track them by regiment which is on the rim of the medal if you are lucky enough to have access to it. The rolls are held at the PRO in London I think. There are 2 books which list casualties for the Boer War and these are always worth checking. There are histories published on some of the units and the Regimental Museums sometimes have rolls of names. These are probably the main sources for information. I think that many on the list are like myself and happy to do a look up if it is in their area of research otherwise they read and delete. . Good luck with the research, George Ward Member of the Anglo-Boer Study Group Melbourne ----- Original Message ----- From: "Shilling" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, May 03, 2003 2:46 AM Subject: [BOER-WAR] Re: BOER-WAR-D Digest V03 #54 > Danielle, If you receive a response to your query I would really appreciate it if > you would pass the information along to me.
