8thhussars,

You can use the Name Search ( www.angloboerwar.com/name-search ) and enter the name there. If your man belonged to the 8th Hussars, a faster method would be to use the search box on the 8th Hussars' page: www.angloboerwar.com/unit-information/im...-royal-irish-hussars

Best wishes
David
