Allen WINTOUR Grocers Apprentice from Newnham was a witness at an inquest into the death of Sydney CARLISLE on March 4th 1891, but written in pencil by Allens name is :-
Died of shell wound at Mafeking April 11 1900 No 101 Protectorate Regiment Bechuanaland SA
Interesting but is it true?

Quite likely. There was a Protectorate Regiment and a para military Protectorate Police Regiment.
See http://pinetreeweb.com/times-history-04-17.htm.
Particularly The Men and Arms at His Disposal para.
This was The Times History from 1906.
Eventually, there were 400,000 British and Imperial Troops in the Boer War.
Youth in Britain wanted to be there. I have a school text book from a member of my family from that time who annotated it many times with ' City Imperial Volunteers'.
