1. Re: [BOER-WAR] Thomas Sharp [1]
Looking for information about a Private Thomas Sharp who I beleive died in South Africa in 1900. I know he died of jaundice, but would be interested to know if anyone can tell me what regiment he served in. I can look for his service number if that would be useful. It's possible he may be listed as Thomas McNay, as he was born illegitemate and used both names it seems. Many thanks, David McNay

4. RE: [BOER-WAR] Re: Dull Khaki Uniforms [1]
It goes back before the Boer Wars to the Indian Mutiny 1857-1860 Pricis from A History of the Northumberland Fusiliers 1674-1902: In April 1858... "The Fifth, worn out and much reduced in numbers, were sent to Cawnpore, where they remained in garrison for two months. The regiment was served out with tunics and trousers of thin cotton, dyed a new colour, called "khaki"."

After trawling through the 1901 census I seem to have 'lost' some relatives. In 4 cases there is a spouse who considers themselves still married. 2 of my people though are a little strange as one would have been about 61 and the other his daughter (her husband and 4 children are found living with her mother). This is my list:- John Robert BAGSHAW age 61 * William Richard BAGSHAW age 39 James BAGSHAW age 27 Elizabeth HARRISON (nee BAGSHAW) age 36 * John STANLEY age not known * Frederick MITCHELL age not kno

Dull Khaki Uniforms without decorations: Thomas Pakenham in "The Boer War" (Ch 12) mentions the Gordon Highlanders at Ladysmith camp before the battle of Elandslaagte, 21 October 1899. They had just arrived from India and were preparing to meet the Boer on the veld: "There were kilts to be patched and mended, khaki covers to be sewn over the hairy black and white sporrans, and the usual mixture of brown paint and cow-dung to be painted over the white webbing ..... their Highland dress was half-hidden by al

Hi David, I so very grateful to you for sending me this information about my grandfather's from the casualty records of the Boer War. It is great to know his ID number (is that what it is called?), his battalion and the place and date of his injury! I think this is definitely my grandfather - his Canadian military/medical records for WWI (where he set up field kitchens) state he was gravely injured in a battle in the Boer War in the fall of 1900. I've had a tough time finding out about my grand

15. Re: [BOER-WAR] Sergeant Clark [1]
Hello Stephen, 2723 Sgt. W. Clark 10th Hussars was killed in action near Uniondale 19/8/1901 while attached to the 2nd Dragoons. He is buried at Uniondale Anglican Church and his grave is marked by a granite headstone. His name is also on the cemetery memorial. He was awarded the Queen's South Africa Medal (QSA) with clasps Relief of Kimberley, Paardeberg, Driefontein & Belfast. This must be the medal you have as his death in 1901 means that he didn't qualify for the King's South Africa Medal (KSA). Rega

I am looking for my grandfather William Tyson. I have not found him on the 1901 census so he might have been in the Boer War. Family oral history suggests that he was/ had been a soldier. He was described as an omnibus conductor and private in Royal West Kent Regiment on his marriage certificate in 1914. He enlisted in the Royal West Kent Regiment at Depford on 5 September 1914. One of his three medals was the 1914-15 star. He was killed on 25 September 1916 at the battle of the Somme whilst serving w

Hi Raymond, What about 1942? There is one reference to John Humphriss in the South African Archives dated 1942 (estate papers). Have a look at the Archives INDEX at: http://www.national.archives.gov.za/index.htm Click "Search", Click "RSA" Enter your search criteria (I used Humphriss & John) Click "Search" In the event that this record is like yours, you will have to appoint someone in SA to investigate for you as the Archives staff will not. You should be able to find a researcher on the South African

25. [BOER-WAR] Cap badge or helmets? [1]
It is my understanding that the troops wore 'helmets wrapped in khaki coloured' on their heads. I don't recall seeing a photo showing a badge on these. A badge flashing in the sun would have made an excellent target for the Boers.
