Boer War
« on: Monday 22 December 08 01:14 GMT (UK) »


Looking for my grandfather William Varney born 1870 Wing, Bucks, also his brother Joseph born 1877 Wing, Bucks. Did these serve in the Boer War.?

Their brother Bertram George born 1882 Wing, Bucks is supposed to have served in the Boer war, are there any records for him, please.

Thank you

Carol
