George Tinson, KSLI Boer War casualty
Hi everyone
I have the following information on a Boer War casualty:
GEORGE TINSON, b. 1864 Little Comberton, Worcs. Died 17 April 1900 from enteric fever in Bloemfontein whilst serving with KSLI 2nd battalion.
He appears on the Boer War Memorial at St Chad's Church, Shrewsbury and there is a memorial plaque in his local church at Upton on Severn.
I have a snippet from The Times newspaper dated 25 April 1900 which announces his death.
My question is, is there any more information to be found on this man? I was not able to find him in any overseas death registers. Is it possible to find out where he was buried? I would also love to trace his movements with the KSLI during the Boer war. Can anyone suggest a good source of information for this? Any additional info or suggestions for future research would be very greatly appreciated.
Many thanks.
Julie
