Yep - Sheffield.
I will peruse this newspaper (for which I thank you) later.

Chris,

I assume you have access to a copy of "Sheffield at the Front. A Pictorial Souvenir of Local Men Serving in South Africa".

Neville - I don't. I would be very grateful if you could post a copy of page 125 relating to Lance-Corporal Grimstone of the Connaught Rangers - he was born in Smethwick.

Regards, David.

Hi Neville
Yes I do thanks. I was lucky enough to pick up a copy many years ago for what was then a hefty price
