Have an Oorlog medal to a Boer who was wounded and taken prisoner a month before the end of the war at Bloemfontain.

Is there a list of Prisoners that I can check this with?

Regards

Thanks Mike

Unfortunately he's not on there

Actually he's not on any list so I think that site isn't a comprehensive one

My guy joined Heilbron Kommando 02 Oct 1899 and fought throughout being wounded a month before the end at Bloemfontain - being taken prisoner.

I would have thought he would have shown up somewhere along the line

Wayne,

There are nearly 32,000 Boer prisoners listed here; angloboerwar.com/other-information/89-pr...oer-prisoners-of-war
