Boer war records Joseph Elliott
« on: Thursday 18 October 18 20:45 BST (UK) »
Trying to find Boer War records for a Joseph Elliott born Brigg Lincolnshire, served in the 1st/ 5th Lincolnshire regiment. He served in the South African campaign then in WW1. He died around 1915. I have his WW1 medal card but cannot find any records of the Boer war. Any help appreciated.

I am Zoe Northeast, granddaughter of Maximilian Double.
 
It is with great difficulty I share with you that in the early hours of 07 August 2021, Maximilian passed away unexpectedly but peacefully.

With deep sadness,
Zoe
