I received this information from Findmypast today:
==========================================
Explore stories of military ancestors this Findmypast Friday
This brand-new collection includes over 60,000 enrolment forms for those who enlisted in the British Army in South Africa during the Anglo-Boer War of 1899-1902. Typically, these detail-rich transcriptions will include a name, nationality, trade, regiment, next of kin and the next of kin’s address.
A further 41,023 records have been added to this existing collection and cover the period of the Anglo-Boer War and the First World War. You’ll normally find a name, regiment, regimental number, year of birth, and birthplace in these records, which include three different types: medals, orders and rank, and a file index.
85,011 new records have been added to this set, which includes series such as 1918 Prisoners of War, Register of Recruits 1914-1917, and Boer War Medals 1901-1903. You’ll usually be able to learn an ancestor’s name, regiment, regimental number, rank, birthplace and birth year.
