David,
Following on from my mentioning Corporal J. Eustace of the SALH, I have found the names of three other men who were killed in action at Robinson's Drift on 19th January 1900 as follows:

26 TROOPER A.W.M. BROWN
31 TROOPER H.C. BROWN
450 TROOPER T. JOLLIFFE
451 CORPORAL J.E. EUSTACE

They were originally listed as missing in action, but all were actually KIA and commemorated at All Saint's Church, Ladysmith and on the Clouston memorial.

Any information available on attestation documents would be very gratefully received if you could please find time to browse when next at TNA.

I have the QSA to Eustace, formerly of the Henk Loots collection.

Cheers Steve

Hello Dave F

His name is Charles Olson/Ohlson and his son is George Allan . I would suspect there could be additional permutations for that surname.

Hello ResearchRescue

Excellent info , very much appreciated.
So happy to have the Christian names. Thanks again.

Dave.....

I will see if there is any more information in the SALH attestation papers box (WO126/135, Mad - O), when I visit next Saturday.
