Boulton Albert 3176 Railway Pioneer Regiment

Looking for ant info on the above thanks

Crofts,

There is quite a bit about him on my site.

He is listed on the nominal roll images for the 2nd and 3rd RPR and there is a two page attestation paper for him here (as Boulfer)
www.angloboerwar.com/south-african-units...r-regiment-surname-b These show him to be an engine driver with next of kin in Shropshire.

He served in the 2nd RPR until 23 Jul 01 and transferred in Cape Town to the 3rd RPR with whom he served until 17 Mar 02.

The QSA rolls (not on my site) show entitlement to the clasps CC OFS & Tr on WO100/265p223. The Supplementary roll (WO100/265p268) record entitlement to SA01 & SA01. Both rolls show the issue was returned, the QSA on 24 Jun 1906.

Regards
David
