Hi izabel
Can I please take you up on your Boar War look-up offer?
I know my Grandfather took part in this war, but I know nothing of the battles that he took part in, so I would be very grateful if you could supply me with any information whatever.
He was Private William Charles Thirkill, late of the Ist Battalion Grenadier Guards, I also have records of him serving in No2 Company 4th Battalion Grenadier Guards, but with him also serving in the Great War he could have been in either Battalion.
Not much to go on I know, but I hope you can come up with something.
