These are extracts from National Archives Ref WO 126/28 for the Boer War
service records for selected names starting between A and D for the CATTLE
RANGERS (CORPS OF CATTLE RANGERS FOR PROTECTION AND SAFE CONDUCT OF CAPTURED
STOCK). There were a variety of standard forms and also many sections of the
forms were not completed. As a result the details included vary.

Kind Regards,
