Hello, I just noticed the Blanchard information posted and I have just come across that name today in connection with the Boer War. Monson Goridge BLANCHARD was a graduate of Ontario Veterinary college. H was n/o Windsor, NS, b Jan 24, 1867. His father was a merchant, his brother a lawyer. He was in the 2nd Mounted Infantry in Ontario until 1887, until he moved to Victoria, BC and joined the 5th Regiment. He was wounded in Jun, 1900 and died there in 1900. I have many references from the Victoria newspaper [Colonist] if anyone is interested. Yesterdays' News! Leona Taylor, Victoria, BC This e-mail address is protected by Norton Security
