Evening everyone,
I know nothing of the Boer war, only that my 2nd Great Uncle was supposed to have fought in it. I cannot find anything on him and the war so I would like to ask if anyone on the forum could help me please?
I know that he joined the army on 8th July 1897 in Sheffield United Kingdom and that his number was 7527 and he was in the 65th and 84th Foot York & Lancs, but the family say he did fight in the war. I have attached an image of him in a uniform I have dated to about 1808 and I think his medal ribbon is the King or Queens medal but not sure.
Any help would be much appreciated
Thank you
