Hi, I am researching my GF Robert (Francis) Edwards whose obituary (died 1936 in Lismore, Australia) indicates that he served in the Boar War (British army). Parents were Robert (William) Edwards and Louisa Yardley (born Cape Town). I can find no evidence that he was in the Boar War and would appreciate any guidance to confirming if he enlisted, served or for some reason left the army around 1900. Robert was born in Middlesex England in 1874, and around 1900 made his way to Australia, possibly landing in Fremantle or Albany Western Australia. His whereabouts after 1891 (when he was 16 yrs old in Mile End Old Town London) is a mystery, and the only lead I have is his obituary, which I attempting to prove correct or not. Thank you.
