Hi there, hope someone can give me some tips. How to find out where Alfred Alexander Crichton enlisted to go to the Boar War. He was born in Scotland and I don't know how to go about finding out whether he travelled to England to enlist or Scotland. His rank Cpl Bgl AA Crichton Was in South Africa 1901, Rhodesia thanks
