Armed Forces / Boer War my great-grandad Chapel-en-le-Frith

Hi,
Wonder if anyone can help? My great grandad Samuel Whittingham disappears off the census records for 1901 though his wife and 2 kids are still there. I think he may have gone to fight in the Boer War. I read that all soldiers in that war would have received the South Africa Medal, how can I find out if one was awarded to him? He had a brother called George who died in 1901 aged 25, maybe they both went and only Samuel came back? They lived in Chapel-en-le-Frith, Derbyshire
