He adopted the alias ‘Cox’ when he joined the Lancashire Fusilers and signed up when he was 15. He had come across from Ireland and presumably didn’t want to be traced.. He fought in the Boer War and was injured and captured by the Boer at Spion Koop. He married and settled in Grimethorpe working as a miner.<br />Terry Ludden 22/11/20Terry Luddenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16139523353717107438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6963030183761648640.post-90999841044660833892021-10-26T12:51:58.317+01:002021-10-26T12:51:58.317+01:00Hi Kevin, this website is mostly about the First a...Hi Kevin, this website is mostly about the First and Second World Wars and I would advise you to consult Barnsley Archives (https://www.experience-barnsley.com/our-archives) for help with your family or local history.
