I have discovered a possible Service Record for one of my Honeybun family in South Africa.

The page from the Medal Roll for the Cape Railway Sharpshooters (attached) shows :

Reg. No. 1365 Private W. Honeybun with a comment "Engine Driver Jagersfontein".

This may be the same chap as this profile:

William Alexander Honeybun
Birth: 16 Sep 1879 in Bultfontein, Free State, South Africa
Death: Abt 1961 in , , Transvaal, South Africa

I also found him on http://www.angloboerwar.com/

Are there any Military records available to identify his parents or next of kin so that I can confirm that they are the same person?
