15th June 2005	Sean Sweeney Michelle, You've got the wrong War. I assume that your ancestor served in the Anglo-Boer War 1899-1902 You really need to find out a bit more about him from your local and family sources. A local regiment from that time might be a start. Without a regiment, it is pretty difficult to get any information. Good Luck, Sean Sweeney

15th June 2005	Martin Everett Michelle, A list has recently been published of casualites in the Boer War in straight alphebetical order. So you do not need to know the date nor regiment. A copy is held in the library of the National Archives at Kew. Also a copy of his service papers should be in the National Archives if he was discharged between 1900 and 1913 and did serve in WW1. Just look in WO97 series for discharges 1990-1913 - they are all filed in alphabetically order - no need to know the regiment - it will be on the papers
