No problem at all. F J Hodgson was an accountant at the Natal Bank and was in Dundee during the Boer occupation, at one time being arrested,

Q.S.A. single clasp Talana - one of eighteen to the regt. and a total of 553 single claps.
5106 Pte. S.J. Jackson, 1. Leics. Regt.
Taken prisoner at Talana.
Samuel Charles Jackson,a laborer, born in Sheffield in1879 and resided there too. He was the son of James of 26 Orton St. in Derby and had two brothers. He enlisted on 12/10/1897 in Leicester when 18 years and two months old. He was transferred to the 1st Bn. On 13/05/1899 when the regiment left for S. Africa. He was in S. Africa until 06/06/1900 (one year and twenty-five days) It is noted that he was missing after the Battle of Dundee (Talana) from the 20th to the 26th of October 1899. The roll confirms the single clasp, Talana. His service papers note that he was missing at the action and later released. He was returned home 7/6/1900, and was discharged on 27/02/1914.
