Hello Sue, There are no alphabetical rolls of British soldiers who fought in the Boer War. The medal rolls are arranged by unit so knowing the unit is a pre-requisite. The attestation and service papers of regular soldiers of the Victorian period in series WO 97 at the PRO are searchable without knowing the unit but the more common the name the more possibilities are likely to be found. However, knowledge of personal details such as birthplace would help to narrow down multiple possibilities. You need to bear in mind, though, that about a third of this series relating to soldiers of the Boer War period were destroyed in an air raid in WW2 so your man's papers may not be there even if those of others with the same name are. PRO files aren't searchable via the internet and the PRO staff don't undertake research projects themselves. Anyone not in a position to make a personal visit needs to employ a researcher to do the digging on their behalf.
