Hi all,
I am an amateur historic researcher with an interest for British society and how it was influenced by warfare from 1899 to the beginning of the national service period. Recently I undertook research for the London Borough of Bexley's Local Studies & Archive Centre which examined how the local area was involved in the South African War. This culminated in a public lecture which proved to be very popular with the local history enthusiasts. More recently I am currently researching the soldiers from the Queen's Westminster Volunteers (13th Middlesex) who served in the City of London Imperial Volunteers during the Boer War. They are memorialised in Westminster Abbey's north cloisters.
Their names are listed below;
1. Lance Corporal Charles Francis Nixon
2. Private Frederick Nance Aylen
3. Private James Chapman Appleford
4. Private John Heath Bryce
5. Private Reginald Darling Cameron
6. Private Sidney Carr
7. Private Francis Henry Welsby
If any members of this forum would like to share any information on these men please do.
with many thanks,
George
