When my grandmother died in London in 1948 she left a simple ring to my sister with the following words engraved on the inside, *"EML died Jan 4th 1900". * It is believed to be a death ring, and the story goes our grandmother had lost her fiancee in some colonial war before marrying our grandfather in 1905. I now believe she may have had the ring made in remembrance of him. Early January 1900 was the time of the Relief of Ladysmith, I believe. This is pure hypothesis on my part but I thought I would check the Boer War casualty list on Ancestry anyway. Unfortunately when I keyed in E M as the first name and L as the second name I ended up with a list of people with a surname starting with an H! Can some kind person tell me if it is possible to open the full list, i.e. from A to Z? Thanks, Nick
