Hi Scrappyshaz,

There will be a wait for this file. Apparantly, the process for Boer and Great War personnel records is that Archives post a copy of the file to the researcher (yours truly in this instance). Part of the file is on film, part on paper, so you may get some colour scans and also black and white photocopies.

The delay is likely to be several weeks. Once it arrives I'll ask you to provide your address via PM so I can post on. Please don't send it now.

Regards, riley

Hi Shaz,

Great news. I haven't heard a thing about the state of this file so if you can get the details you need from this URL I can consider your enquiry closed.

Let me know.

Thank you both Bren & Riley,
Yes  I was able to access the file from the link. Unfortunately it didn't tell me if Horace Montague CROSS was killed in South Africa, just that he was missing in 1902, but gave me that much info anyway. Thanks for your help
Cheers

Looks like he only went AWOL as there is a possible marriage here in 1907:
