Hello Marcella My great grandfather also fought in the Boer war for an English regiment. I went to the British National Archives in Kew where I was able to (quite easily) get access to his army records and make copies thereof. There may be, and likely are, services offered for lookups at a fee but I personally don't have experience with or knowledge of these.
