Kevin Asplin has a site about soldiers in the Boer War.
Unfortunately it appears to be blocked to me.

hometown.aol.co.uk/kevinasplin/home.htm

He is very knowledgable, and obtained several lots of service records for me.

There used to be a good site on Boer war by Kevin Asplin, but when I have just googled there is warning that the site might harm your computer!

Thats a shame because it was quite useful
