Hi Dave,
Great work again. I think it was Sarah who died in 1928 and he set off for England leaving Garfield in Wales. Neat that he returned to Login to die a few miles from where he born. Couple of snippets: he met Sarah as she living 3 doors away from his parents Elm Cottage in 1901. He obtained his first class Education Certificate in February 1912. You have to search under 5181 Harris.
I am now really going to push the boundaries and ask you about two men who would only have read about the Boer War in the newspapers.
Both were Volunteers who I was unable to find one single fact. Anything would be welcome even speculation!
Colour Sergeant J Philips VF LSGC Victoria 4VB
Pte. A Matthews No. 1376 VF LSGC Edaward 7th 1VB
Both S.W.B.
Understand if this is a step too far.
Many thanks again. Will miss our exchanges about James. You seem to get to know them and their families.

That is fantastic research, Dave.

Hello Dave
Think I may quit while I'm ahead on that request!
Nothing jumping out on 1st trawl. Will delve a little deeper when time permits. However, I think we may need the ABW forum Cavalry to help solve this one.

Hi Dave,
Thanks for trying. I am ploughing through a collection of SWB I put together about 30 years ago because all my family had served. Succeeded in getting from Egypt 1800 to Nortern Ireland.. Had not research.ed a single one. Thanks to you I am about to start WW1. I was amazingly lucky with the first three MGS Egypt (officer), MGS Peninsula and India (Nepaul).and found masses of info on all three.
Once again many many thanks for your help.
Dave
Sorry about delay in replying. I've been a bit obsessive lately and wife banned the tablet!
