I registered on this site because it came up in a search I did for a relative who fought in South Africa. I found a post on the forum (#62686) which looked as if it had been sourced from my online tree at Ancestry.co.uk (including a family photograph); but there was one detail which I did not have, and I thought it was worth taking further. Lieutenant (later Colonel) Dawson was my grandfather's first cousin, and I have newspaper cuttings from the South African war and World War 1 which mention him by name. The post I found related to Lt. Dawson's medals which had been purchased online, and I would be interested to hear from member RobCT where he found his background information.
