John Lund, Lancashire Fusiliers - killed? - by: BereniceUK

Had my first session going through The Leigh Chronicle (near Wigan) last week, and found that at least twice in 1900 the paper published a list of Leigh men serving in, or on their way to, South Africa. Both lists - 6th April, 1900 and 31st August, 1900 - have John Lund, Lancashire Fusiliers, a 27 year-old married man, whose home address was 80 Plank Lane, Leigh, in both lists as having been killed. The only other Leigh casualty, in the August list, Thomas Rogers, 10th Hussars, who died of fever, is correct.

There was a J. Land, Coldstream Guards, who was killed in action, 1st October, 1900, but I can't find a Lund who died before the 6th of April, 1900.
