TOPIC:

I have recently been looking at the Anglo Boere Oorlog section of this website and found details of individuals very interesting. This is something I don't know much about at all, but I was wondering if there is a book/medal roll available listing all recipients of the Anglo Boere Oorlog medal and showing if they were a prisoner and where they were taken, pretty much as the website does, but in a book format?

Morning Ians1900,

No, I do not think such a book exists. There is a medal roll for the ABO written by Dr Forsyth and published by Roberts Publications Ltd. This lists the surname, forenames/initials, Commando and whether the recipient received the LVW or DTD. There are no biographical details. The pages in the Forum are slowly developing and expanding Forsyth's original list.

I have only ever seen online lists of prisoners.

On the site, I have yet to cross reference the ABO and prisoner lists.

Best wishes

Thank you for explaining David. I do find this area most interesting and am certainly enjoying reading the ever expanding information you are including on this website.
