This is a selection of information on the page. Also included may be: date of admission, physical description, length and type of service, rate of pension, (rarely) date of death and, sometimes, further notes. These are only men who stayed in SA, others remained in, for instance, Sierra Leone, Canada, India and Corfu. Nothing was very standard at this time: English County names generally end in `s.` ie   ..shire, except for Oxon (Oxfordshire) and Salop (Shropshire). You may have to try some odd spellings: look at where Lewis Oliver was born.
