Rootsweb has a Boer War List. I found out by doing a Google search for Boer War. There are plenty of other sites, but I would imagine the Rootsweb one would be a good place to start.

Thanks for answering my query. His name was Reginald Baldry and he was born Bungay, Suffolk. I have tried various names to no avail. If he was fighting in the Boer War is there any way of fiding out? Joan.

My grandfather was born in 1879 I have found him in the 1881 and 1891 census but can't find in 1901. He was married in 1908 so must have been around somewhere and didn't die until 1949, where could he be? Joan.
