Hello Ron,
We get a lot of these types of threads on here and I always feel it is very important to actually keep an open mind and establish the basic facts before jumping to any conclusions.
Well, I suppose the first thing to ask is how do you actually know he was in the Army and in particular, the Lincolnshire Regiment, before we even make mention of the Anglo Boer War.
Regards Frank

HI FRANK/ALONG TIME AGO I SAW HIS S.A MEDAL WITH HIS NAME AND REGIMENT ON THE SIDE AND IT WAS THE LINCOLNSHIRE REGT BUT I FORGET IS ARMY NUMBER THE 1901 CENSOS PUT,S HIM IN THE ARMY IN THE CAVALIERY BARRACKS IN MANCHESTER RON

Do you know where the medal is now, because assuming it was his, you will save yourself an awful lot of time.

IT WAS LOST MANY YEARS AGO RON
