H. DRAKE 2nd Boer War L/Up Plz

[Ken_from_Wisbech]

Hi all

I have a very scant bit of info for:

H DRAKE, Orderly, 1010, St. Johns Ambulance Brigade.  Apparently, he served in the Second Boer War

Any missing rellie detectives out there able to make any sense out of that or even to elaborate on all the information I have above, or even any suggestions about where I can look.

That's it.  That's all I have, which I got from http://casusbelli.ahsinternet.co.uk

Many thanks.

There's some information about the St John's Ambulance in the Boer war here:

and the SJA library has the South African Medal roll and various boer war papers and diaries http://www.sja.org.uk/sja/about-us/our-library/researching-sja.aspx

Hi Shaun

Many thanks for your info ....... looks like I have some reading to do and hopefully glean some info on Henry.

He doesn't appear on this list of SJA casualties http://rapidttp.com/milhist/vol105de.html

Thanks Shaun

I have been busy trawling through a site I found, http://hometown.aol.co.uk/kevinasplin/home.html, which has a wealth of information about the Boer War, but like your link, know H.Drake there either.  LOL

Makes me think this 'may' be my Henry I am looking for.  Both seem to be very elusive.

Thanks
