WW1 South African Infantry casualties
« on: Friday 11 August 23 19:44 BST (UK) »
I'm looking for information on two South African casualties.  I think their details maybe on FindMyPast but I don't have a sub.

J.W. Young
A.R. Castle

I'm interested in their military service; and with first names I might be able to find them in Ancestry which I do have a sub for.  Thanks in advance.
