Notes

As noted below, Peter Edward William Lehrs is actually an alias used by William Foss. Lehrs was a real person, but he did not serve in South Africa.

See his service record here. (Archway)

It appears that he was killed in a train accident in South Africa in April 1902. See his death notice and a  report of this incident (PapersPast)
