Try Casus-Belli.co.uk an excellent website.

Register  of Anglo-Boer War 1899-1902. Meurig Jones was helpful and informative. I now know which campaigns my Grandfather was involved in and a record of his medals and bars. My Grandfather served with the East Surrey Regiment.
Hope this is helpful to you.

I visited Plaxtol today. Attached is a photo of the Broad Family Headstone. Unfortunately you can't read the engraving as the sun was too bright. The second photo is the top of the stone which I found a picture of in Old Soar Manor. When the Archivist is back I will ask him if he has any further information.

I found this today which explains the difference in death years of the family. The following applies to another family. the baptism of  W***    C******* is quoted in the modern calender convention. Strictly this date should be given as 22 Feb 1749/50 since the year used to change not on Jan 1st but 25th March (until 1752). The 31st Dec 1749 was followed by 1st Jan 1749 etc. The original register would have given Feb 1749, but in modern terms the baptism was in 1750. Hope this is clear .
I have attached Broad Christenings all at Plaxtol Church.

John also died 14th March 1750 not 1758 according to his age. I also have a list of the children's Christenings  dates if you would like them.

The records don't say what they died of. Looking at the Parish Records again I realise the dates are for  burial and not death. I am not related, I just came across them whilst looking for my family. I am visiting the Plaxtol Archives next wednesday and will ask if there is any information there about them. Their parent's burial records states they are both from " Callis Court, Parish of Ryarsh ". All their children were Christened in Plaxtol Church.
