TOPIC:

I am a family historian researching my great great grandfather Charles Thomas Nicholls born in 1860 - 1937.
Newspaper reports he was a Color Sergeant in 3rd Battalion, Ballarat and the Field Electrical Engineers, Melbourne.
So far I have not found any records of him being in the services.
It is believed that he was in South Africa during war time. This is supported from the photos
I have received.
I am hoping that the knowledgeable members can help me out by identifying the area or from the banner in one photo which says
(They shall beat their swords into plowshears and
their spears into pruninghooks) A quote from the bible?
Is it appropriate to post photo's here. cheers

Welcome to the Forum. Quotation is from ISAIAH 2:4. I had a look on the Oz-Boer site and there is no C.T. Nicholls mentioned as being known as a Colonial Australian Boer War veteran - although he could have done service with a British Regiment/Corps from what you have said. If you could post relevant photos of your GGF, it may assist in identification.
