T T SANDERS - Boer war casualty

[Brentor boy]

I am trying to identify T T Sanders, 4789, 2nd Devons, who is recorded as a casualty of the Boer War at Kingsteignton, Devon.

Any suggestions, please?

Have you seen this website?

www.devonheritage.org/Nonplace/DevonReg/Devons2ndBoerWarRollofHonour1899to1902.htm

Can't see your TT Sanders yet but it says they are continually updating it. Might be worth a look.

Best wishes

Thanks for the link, Maria. I found my reference on the Devon Heritage site, but taking a fresh look I see he is listed as PARTICIPATING in the Boer War, and not as a casualty. My error.

Glad I could help. Best of luck with your research.

Results on the first link give place of birth.
Advances search on 2nd link can show other members of household

Excellent, Ambly. That's my man. Because I had thought he had died in the Boer War, I had not looked for him at a later date.

Many thanks for the links. Progress has been made.
