Hello Jon

Thanks for this - so not just any "cattle ranger" but De Beers' cattle ranger. I would imagine he was the boss of a number of Africans, so quite a handy multi-lingual chap.

Hi Ian,

Found him, 340 F Shaw 4th QIB & 390 Ranger F Shaw.

Cheers,

Jim

Good to hear from you. Frederick SHAW (4QIB) discharged from CoCR 15011902; this from the Smith booklet. Just now I had a look on the ancestry site (I previously mentioned this when I discovered more info about SAYER) and there was no mention of SHAW there. Does not really mean much; just tried it on the off chance.
Hopefully the SHAW pair found a home here in OZ and it may well turn up in time.

Hi Ian,

I think it was passed in at the auction and havn't heard anything of it or the other items since. So hopefully it still has a good home here.
