Jim: Thank you for your information. I cannot believe that they would have
remained in South Africa as they were married just before going to war. I
did know their wives, and unfortunately I did not ask any questions, but was
told that their husbands died in the Boer War. Frank Fussell was the
brother of Ernest Alfred Eastwood's wife.
Their wives came to Canada to live, and they had no children. I shall keep
searching.
