Hi,
I am just finishing my research on the above who served with 2nd Batt. South Wales Borderers in the Boer War. I think I have found just about everything I can about him. He arrived with a draft at Vredfort Road in June 1900 and left from Cape Town on august 12th 1902.
However he was slightly wounded at Buffelsdoorn Pass 1/12/1900 while attached to the 4th Battalion Railway Pioneer Reg. and wondered if anyone knows anything about this unit or the action.
Also during my research I found an interesting article about his being wounded in a South Wales paper ( possibly a Cardiff one ) and now cannot find it anywhere either on the net or on newspapers section of Findmypast. Its driving me crazy as I know i saw it but stupidly did not print it at the time. Any ideas?
Many thanks,
Dave
