    3. Hello Mike, There is no Henney or Henny in any of the casualty references including wounded and POWs as well as killed or died. Your best bet is to check (in person or via a researcher) the Queen's South Africa Medal rolls for the King's Own Scottish Borderers which are in subseries WO 100/182 at the PRO in Kew. It sounds like your man could have died at any time up to 1912 but if he died on service his attestation and service papers would have been officially destroyed. Surviving papers for regular soldiers are in series WO 97.

If anyone else has any service info for William Henny in the KOSB in the Boer War, I would appreciate that as well. > > He was shown as deceased in the marriage in Devonport of his daughter in 1912 with an occupation of Private, Scotch Borderers. > > The 1st Battalion, KOSB moved to Devonport in February 1891 and were posted to South Africa in January 1901. > > Regards. > > Mike
