Hi, a long shot I know but have only just discovered this post. I am the great grandson of Sgt.Mjr.A.Moss killed at Kimberley. I have some details about him and knew my grandfather who our family called Da and his wife we called Nonna, they lived in Wembley. I would love to hear from anyone who may be a relative or knows more info. I intend to visit Kimberly in the next couple of years and will visit G-Grandfather's grave

Hello, my name is Susan Smith and I just came across your inquiry about Alfred Moss. Several years ago I corresponded with Alfred's grandson in South Africa and we exchanged documents and photos of Alfred. If you are still interested in knowing what I know and have about Alfred and his family I would be most interested in corresponding with you.

Hello,
I am a distant relative of the Alfred Moss family. I have some information on him with a fine photo of him in his RHA uniform with his brother and sister. Also some other interesting info. I would love to correspond and share information about Alfred and his family with anyone interested.
Thanks, Susan Smith

Welcome to the Brit-Gen forums Susan.
I see that you posted on this thread in 2020 and Pam answered you.
Since Pam answered you in post #5 the original poster Doowmat is no longer a member of Brit-Gen (indicate by the word 'Guest' under their user name). This means we have no contact details for them so they will not receive notification of your post Which is a shame as we all want photos of our ancestors and they are hard to find.
Now you have joined the thread it is out there for others of this family line to discover in the future.
