Volunteers Boer War

[jacqueline cox]

I have 2 gt uncles who served in Boer War probably from Berkshire Yeomanry.
My family believed that  Harry or Henry Cox died there of dysentery.
Charles Staples Cox got home but died in 1905 of diabetes.
Does anyone know if off duty, they would have had a "regimental" tie? One family photo has father and 2 eldest all with same tie.
Which site is best for me to send their rather faded pre WW1 pics to (one taken in Windsor possibly at barracks)? I did post them both yesterday.

Hi Jacqueline

I've just spotted your post after a while away from this site. I'll check my Boer War medal rolls to see if they are listed to one of the two Berkshire Yeomanry companies in the Boer War

Drop me a pm & I'll put you in touch with the Regimental Museum (I happen to be one of their trustees)

Regards
P

Hi Jacqueline

Checked the medal rolls & havent been able to come up with anything concrete.
1.  There is no Charles Staples Cox listed in the Imperial Yeomanry listing
2.  There is a Henry Cox who served with the 59th Company IY (Buckinghamshire Hussars), 34058, Trooper who died of enteric fever in Springfontein on 11th November 1901. He was entitles to the Queens South Africa Medal with bars for Cape Colony, Orange Free State, Transvaal & South Africa 1901

Hope this is of assistance
