Hi K8T. I am also like you researching Alexander Robson and his son Charles Robson. Like you, I am stuck on his date of birth but I can give you details of his military service before joining the Ryl. Irish Fuslrs. He served in the Boer War as 5463 Pte A Robson. 2nd Battalion, Northumberland Fusiliers. He qualified for the Queens South Africa medal with clasps Cape Colony, Orange Free State, and Transvaal. In his first major engagement, at the disasterous Battle of Stormberg, he was taken prisoner. As with most of British the POWs, he was released some days later as the Boers had no facilities to house prisoners. In early 1900 he was invalided back to England after contracting fever.
I know this info is correct as I own his and his sons medal groups, hence my interest in both soldiers. If you have any info that would be of interest to me then please let me know. Regards Phil
