If you put his name here, there's an chance a service record may exist which would give his regiment

Hi Jan,
That's half the trouble, when I Goodled 500,000+ sites came up - trawled through several pages before I gave up and put it in the too hard basket.

HI Anne-Marie.
The best advice for queries like this is to do a google search - something like "South African War Veterans" should produce lots of links.

Looking at newspaper death notices for my Great Grandfather, his has 'friends and South African War Veterans please meet at cemetery' This was in 1953 and Ggrandfather was aged 85 and living in Wallsend on Tyne. Does anyone know if there is any assocation or the like covering that area for the Boer War? During the period of the Boer War he would have been living in Alnwick, Northumberland.
