Lucille:

There are two Keowns in the 2 searchable databases:
KEOWN, A B Tpr, Kitcheners Horse
KEOWN, A W Cpl, Border Horse

Kitcheners Horse and possibly the Border Horse were raised in South Africa I
think.

No KEOWN, J H but he could have died at sea or in his home country
as a result of the war. Difficult to find him without knowing the regiment
or unit that he served in!
