	If you want to find whether someone was in, e.g., the Imperial Yeomanry, go to Kevin Asplin's excellent site: http://www.britishmedals.us/ http://www.britishmedals.us/kevin/nominal.html http://www.britishmedals.us/kevin/impyeomanryl.html The records themselves are at Kew. If you click on my name and send me a private message, I can recommend a researcher who found a Boer War record there for me and give you contact details. edit 22 april - heh, I see you didn't delete this one - no names. ;)
