Roll-of-Honour Boer War link

Bren, thanks for sharing the info on the Boer War. My grandfather survived the second Boer War, so it is virtually impossible to find out anything about his time in the Army not knowing the regiment he served with. But knowing that he was involved sparked off my interest in the Boer War.

Whilst researching our family history, my brother and I required further information regarding a family member who died during the Boer War in South Africa. He was serving in the Army Ordnance Corps. We found the information we required from the following, although things may have changed now as our enquiry was in 2000.
