The index provided is a combination of the two, the details given are those supplied by the men themselves, and not by their dependants. Men had to be over 21 years of age to vote, therefore men under 21 in the armed forces are not included in this database. Please note that the men were not given a unique regimental number until 1920, it is therefore possible to find two men with the same number, but in different regiments. </font> <font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2" color="#808080"> <br> </font><font face="Verdana" color="#808080" size="2"><br> </font><b> <a style="text-decoration: none" target="_blank" href="http://glosters.tripod.com/memindex3.htm"> <font face="Verdana" color="#800000" size="2">Officers Died</font></a></b><font color="#006666" size="2" face="Verdana"><b><br> </b> </font> <font face="Verdana" color="#808080" size="2">This information is intended as a memorial to those listed and has been compiled from various books, casualty lists, medal rolls, newspapers, and memorials.<br> <br> </font> <b> <a style="text-decoration: none" target="_blank" href="http://www.wartimememories.co.uk/map.html"> <font face="Verdana" size="2" color="#800000">Wartime Memories Project</font></a><font face="Verdana" size="2" color="#006666"><br> </font></b> <font face="Verdana" size="2" color="#808080">This excellent project is actively seeking recollections from the war years.

However, in the Second Boer War (South Africa War) a number did come from other parts of the Empire. These countries had their own internal disputes over whether they should remain tied to the United Kingdom, or have full independence, which carried over into the debate over whether they should send forces to assist the United Kingdom. Though not fully independent on foreign affairs, these countries did have local say over how much support to provide, and the manner in which it would be provided.
