Hello
I came across your interesting and informative website while researching my family history.

I am afraid that I know little about the Boer War, but I believe one of my relations fought and died during the conflict. His name is Arthur Waterfield, No. 3484, a Private in the 2nd Dragoons, Royal Scots Greys. He was awarded the QSA medal, but I know little else about his military service.

I think he died before March 1901, as his wife is listed as ‘widow’ in the 1901 census. I would be very grateful for any help in finding out what happened to Arthur.

Thank you
Beverley

Hello Beverley

And welcome to the forum.
Mike has given you all the information available I am afraid.
Arthur is listed on Find My Past in the Boer War records with the clasps as stated by Mike, but no other info is available there.
