Gosh it's confusing isn't it David ?! . So we think "my" Jospeph W Dawson is Trooper 214 (and it certainly fits in with what I've read in the family notes). So, in your opinion was he later Corporal Dawson or is that another soldier?

Yes Sam.

Kimberley Town Guard, then Kimberley Light Horse and then Corporal in Damant's Horse. That's quite a Boer War career!

Many thanks David, I do so appreciate your time. Now for me to read up on it!
