Sadly seems not. I have just recently added these two names to my extended tree. Grace McFarlane b.1791 Dull d. 1866 Stirling F. James McF and M. Grace Scrimger. The Robbs seem to have been all over Fife but Margaret Robb b. Scoonie 1793 d. Monimail 1859 F. William R and M. Isabel Finlay

Hi,

First post on here.

From the photograph, the man sitting down seems to be wearing the Queens South Africa Medal, and the man standing on the left has both this and the King's South Africa Medal.

If you let me know your grandfathers name I can look him up in the Black Watch Medal Roll for the Boer War.

Incidentally, if he was in India until 1901 and then South Africa then he was in the 1st Battalion at the time. Same as my great-uncle who died in India.

Regards,

David

Could you look up James Anderson a Colour Sergeant in the 2nd Batttalion Black Watch please. He was at Cape Town in 1895 and India in 1899. I don't suppose he's there but you never know.
