This guide provides historical context and identifies the records which are available regarding individual servicemen, and where those records can be sourced. The author illustrates the process of documenting a soldier with a case study of Thomas Rutledge Miles D.C.M.. This example will prove helpful for those seeking to document Canadian ancestors who served in Boer War in South Africa 1899-1902.

What was The Boer War? For the first time since Confederation (1867), Canada became involved in a foreign war when it sent troops to fight in South Africa. It was fought between Great Britain and the Dutch farmers living in the Orange Free State and Transvaal regions of South Africa. Britain referred to these farmers as Boers but they proudly called themselves Afrikaners. In reality, it was a war initiated by British Imperialism.
