Is it possible that he joined the army and was abroad in the Boer War?

Looks like Julie could have the right family there and it's been transcribed Beemer instead of Brewer as the names of parents and children fit in !

The questions about the war has made me wonder if he did join at some point though !

Thank you Julie !!
