Does that mean you now have John's father's name?

So this would be the 2nd Boer war would it?

would his name have been published, maybe in the "Times"?

Hi there ,

i am unsure if this chat is still active , however i believe this John Dixon to be my great granddad. The revaluation of his wife being called Ruth Ludkin has cemented this. I would be very grateful if i could receive some more info on him. All i know is he served in WW1 and was underage at the time and died within the 60?

Thank you

Matt
