I have the Soldier’s New Testament ( South Africa 1900) of Malcolm Hardy , 6546 27th ( Devonshire) 7th Battalion Imperial Yeomanry. It looks like it was given to him by a minister “ who had 4 horses shot under him in one day”
Can anyone make sense of the information given on the pages inside the cover?
I know that Malcolm Hardy was born in Tow Law Durham in 1878 and died there aged 29 in 1907.
Thanks in advance.

I am sure the forum will be able to help with your request? I will have a go at deciphering over the weekend. I have attached a couple of snippets for your records. Dave.......
