My Grandfather Alexander Martin was 14 when he went to the Boer War with the Elswick Battery... He worked at Vickers Armstrong in Elswick, Newcastle upon Tyne..which is the factory that manufactured the Guns that were sent to South Africa. We have seen one of the Guns from the Boer War in the Drill Hall in Heaton Newcastle upon Tyne, that was about 15 years ago, we do not know if they still have it. I have checked the War Records on line for him as i dont have a DOB or Address or Military Number, only to find lots of Alexander Martins recorded as going to the Boer War, which i find rather strange....can anyone help please, Moira Davis
