Hi Jean and Freda, I have all the records of my grandfather who served in the Boer War from 15 Nov 99 to 7 Oct 02. The papers his recruitment including physical details and previous experience (he was in the Militia at the time of applying). It is availabe from the Public Records Office and if you know the Regiment it should be fairly easy. But I think you have to go to Kew to get it It is certainly worth the effort and and very nice to have the records. Gill Smith In cold and snowy Ontario, Canada
