Hi looking for records of Charles Robert Jack. He may have travelled to Africa for the Boer war. He died in Africa at Piet Retief 1903. I see there is a record of a Charles jack atestation paperwork in Cape Police but cannot get a copy to check if it is him. Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

Hi
At the time of his death in 1903 he was married to an Elizabeth Parker.

Thanks Adrian. I knew he was married had four children they lived in Tasmania when he died in Africa. I am ultimately wanting to find out why he went to Africa and was thinking Boer war then staying on after. Just a guess but the records on here say a Charles Jack in the Cape Police with atestaion papers but I can’t see that. Any assistance in a copy of those papers is what I am hoping to get?

I had a trawl through the Tasmanian section of Murray's "Australian Contingents" for any C.Jack. No entry; nor was there any entry on the OZ-BOER database. It is entirely possible that Charles Robert Jack journeyed to SA on his own account and did a local enlistment there. Quite a few did.

Not the same man.

Charles Morrison Jack attested into the CP in Kimberley on the 14th June 1879 aged 24 years. His Reg number was 113. From Finsbury ,London.
