Hi Verity

I don't know if you have yet found the information you are looking for, but
you could try www.cyndislist.com/soafrica.htm
Look under the headings Mailing Lists, Newsgroups & Chat and Military. You
should find something of interest on the Boer war there, or you could email
Conrod Mercer on . He is happy to give advice on South
African research and has helped me a few times.

Hope this helps some.
