By the way, 'Dragon' in the original post should be DragOOn'.

Thanks Ainslie, I didn't do very well with spelling, Boar instead of Boer and Dragon instead of Dragoon. Both correct spellings on my notes, all I can put it down to is composing the post late at night when I was tired.
Cheers, Paul

I usually blame dyslexic fingers!

I only mentioned the Boer spelling, because I have come across so many people who believe it's spelled like a pig!!

I suffer as well, and managed to avoid posting a bad joke involving fire-eating Dragoons.

I suppose it is going too far to observe that there should be no brackets around the word King's in the regiment's title - thought so

Aaaah, come on guys, give me a break!!!! Actually the printout I have from 'findmypast' has brackets around (King's). Yes it does say Dragoon and yes it does say Boer War, but it does have brackets around (King's).
While I have your attention, why can't I put a smiley on my comments as you all do. Whenever I press one of the smileys it comes up with  or  .  I have checked attachments and other options and the 'don't use smileys' is not ticked.

Forget that last question, when I pressed send they come up, strange, but now I know.

When you are writing, or editing, a post the smilies come up in text.

You can see what they will look like if you click on Preview.

Just one of those idiosyncrasies you get used to!

Thank you, now I know

Didn't quite work, tried Preview but nothing happened
