Hi Scrappyshaz,

There will be a wait for this file. Apparantly, the process for Boer and Great War personnel records is that Archives post a copy of the file to the researcher (yours truly in this instance). Part of the file is on film, part on paper, so you may get some colour scans and also black and white photocopies.

The delay is likely to be several weeks. Once it arrives I'll ask you to provide your address via PM so I can post on. Please don't send it now.

Regards, riley

Hi Shaz,

Great news. I haven't heard a thing about the state of this file so if you can get the details you need from this URL I can consider your enquiry closed.

Let me know.

Regards, riley

Thank you both Bren & Riley,
Yes I was able to access the file from the link. Unfortunately it didn't tell me if Horace Montague CROSS was killed in South Africa, just that he was missing in 1902, but gave me that much info anyway. Thanks for your help
Cheers

Looks like he only went AWOL as there is a possible marriage here in 1907:

Thanks Bren,
It must be one of the world wars that he was killed in then. Family lore states he died 'At War'. I will have to keep searching for him.

Hi Bren,
Horace Montague Cross was the son of James Smith Cross jnr & Elizabeth Ann Askew, born 19/5/1881 in Nelson. The family moved to Wellington. Horace's sister Beatrice Louise Cross is my g/g/mother. I have a photo of a young Beatrice & a young boy who I believe might be Horace,
Cheers
Shaz
