I would like to find out what I can about Captain William P.K. Milligan from Newtonville, Ontario, Canada if anyone has any information on him.
He was killedat the battle of Klienhardt's River in 1902
There is a Monument built in his honour in Newtonville Ontario, Canada.
Any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated. I really enjoy reading the answers you provide to others.
I am the Service Officer of the Royal canadian Legion Br178 Bowmanville, Ontario. My interest in the Boer War has always been the history of it, and I help other people find info on their relatives.John Greenfield

The action at Boschbult was a real baptism of fire for the 2nd Canadian Mounted Rifles: www.angloboerwar.com/unit-information/ca...adian-mounted-rifles
