John Murrell Haslett
« on: Wednesday 25 May 11 08:43 BST (UK) »
Hi,
   I am trying to find some information on the above during his time in South Africa. I believe that he was a member of the SA Field Force of Cape Police and he died at De Klipdrift (Tweebosch)in the 2nd Boer War in 1902. He was born in Co. Londonderry, N. Ireland.
