Godfrey Fitzhugh - served Boer War?

[Noglet]

Hello,

We're doing some digging for a friend. Her g-grandfather Godfrey Fitzhugh of Plas Power in Flintshire was born 1873 and killed in action in 1917 (aged 44). He served in WWI with the Montgomeryshire Yeomanry, attached to 25th Royal Welch Fusiliers.

Would anyone be able to do a look up of the QSA and KSA medal rolls for us to see whether he served in the Boer War too?

Many thanks,

Nog

Hi Nog,

I have just slid this question over to the Boer War forum so that It may attract the attention of the members researching that field.

Many thanks, Finbar - that looks as if it could indeed be our man.

And thanks for putting this across to the Boer War forum, Jan. I'm still learning my way around here, I'm afraid. ;-)
