3. Boer War Shipping returns [1]
Afternoon from rainy Wiltshire.. A gent by the name of Ken Hallock has recently sent me a complete extract of returns from the Times and Cape Town press for all shipping (and other details) from the period 1899 to 1902. This covers some 470+ pages, and includes masses of information on units and individual officers. I have started to download this onto my website at http://hometown.aol.co.uk/KevinAsplin/home.html if anyone is interested.. it is on the 2nd page. Kevin

Hi Kevin I have viewed your page with interest. I have just received my grandfathers military history record, and wondered if you could suggest a few avenues of research.? He joined at 18 years the Manchester Regiment in October 1888,-- in September 1891- his record says India, where he stayed for 4 years. Then Home? for 3 years, then South Africa for 2 years.=30 September 1901. 13 years in all. I don't know how to check where in India he would be, and where in the Uk for that matter, he was in the 1st

Good Morning Listers, This is my first posting to this List - hoping that I might be guided in the right direction for research on - Martin Patrick HEALY - he was my maternal grandfather, born in Co. Kilkenny, Ireland in 1875, not been found in the 1901 Census of England although he joined the Metropolitan Police Force in 1904 and married in 1905. Family legend is that he did serve in the British Army in India and South Africa but no further details are now available!! I would be very grateful for any p

9. RE: [BOER-WAR] Manchester Regiment [1]
Hi John, Kinsale as far as I know is in County Cork, Ireland, not sure about the military status of that period, He was 'Home' from `/`0/`888 to 17/9/1891 Then in India from September 1891 to Feb. 1896= 4yrs +157 days. Then 'Home' 17/2/1896 to 22/10/1899 Then South Africa 23/10/1899 to 31/7/1901 'Home' 1/ 8/1899 to 30/ 10/1901 There is just a table of dates, no locations, apart from country. I wonder if he changed battalions? Thank you for looking anyw

11. Re: [BOER-WAR] Martin Patrick HEALY [1]
Hello Barry, since he was born in 1875 it is very possible that he did indeed serve in India and The Boer War. My grandfather was born in 1870 and was able to fight in India, Boer War and Great War. The question would be did he join up in Ireland or England. Do you know when he left Kilkenny, do you have any idea? If he joined up in Ireland there were a few Irish regiments he could have joined. Hope this info just confuses matters for you. Good Luck Kathleen California via Belfast, Co. Antrim, Ire

Forwarded for Colin Pretorius. Any responses please email eggsa@fmxau.com *********** It is with great pleasure that we announce the dawning of a new era in South African genealogy. After lengthy discussions involving people interested in promoting South African genealogy, ideas and plans came together to make it possible for the Genealogical Society of South Africa (GSSA) to open a virtual branch. This branch is known as eGSSA. For many years there have been people who, for various reasons, could not j
13. 8th.,Battery,R.F.A. [1]
Is there any way of determining when, and by which ship, a member of the 8th.,Battery,R.F.A. was transferred to South Africa? The initial transfer of the 8th.,Battery,R.F.A. was made in 1899 on board the S.S.America.I am trying to determine if my great uncle,John Thomas Wardell, was on board this ship or was transferred at a later date.

14. [BOER-WAR] Re: W J PRICE [1]
Hi Noeline: W J Price from Picton was in the local Waitori Rifles, which was an advantage when enrolling. The 7th Contingent (which releived the 4th) was the only one not to take their own horses as there was no space on the ship, the SS Gulf of Taranto. So they would have to rely on the poor quality British remounts. The 7th took part in sweeps against Boer commandos under Smuts and De Wet, including the action at Bothasburg (Langverwacht Hill) on 23-24 Feb 1902 when De Wet forced the part held by the 7t

17. Re: [BOER-WAR] Re: Imperial Light Horse etc [1]
Hi Paul, Saw your post on Trooper Tom Morris - coincidentally just got back home from Corowa NSW where he is buried. His obit said he had a long and successful career as a policeman, then became an alderman and Mayor after his retirement. It also mentions his recommendation for the VC. Since I last emailed you I found out he was part of two series of cigarette cards of VC winners - both Ogden and Taddys. I wonder if they cigarette companies worked from official lists of recommendations or media reports. H

While I am at it, and this is directed more to the Australians, more specifically the Victorians on the List. My Charles Frederick LUND immigrated to Melbourne in 1925 and became a member of the So
