  • Ocs & the Boer War
    OLD CONWAYS & THE BOER WAR v19 The Conway Chapel at Birkenhead Priory contains the Memorial Boards and Honour Boards for WWI and WWII. It has been known for some time that OCs participated in the Boer War and that at least one lost his life. Members of the Old South African branch of the Conway Club agreed that the South African Conway Centenary Shield presented by them in 1959 should be re-purposed as the Boer War Memorial Shield. This summary of OCs who lost their lives in, or who participated in that war acts as a form of Boer War Honours Board as it was not possible authoritatively to list all those honoured in that war with either gallantry or service medals. The photo below right shows Guy Brooke-Smith (44-46) presenting the shield to Captain Hewitt on Sports Day 1959. The photo below right shows him presenting it as the Boer War Memorial to the Chapel in June 2017. 1 CONTENTS 1 OCS WHO DIED ON SERVICE .................................................................................................... 3 2 OCS WHO SERVED IN THE ARMED SERVICES ....................................................................... 4 3 OCS WHO SERVED IN THE MN ................................................................................................ 15 4 “COMFORTS” FOR THE TROOPS ............................................................................................. 17 5 SOURCES ................................................................................................................................... 18 2 1 OCS WHO DIED ON SERVICE Edmund Evan K.
