Enlistment ages for the Boer War - a case study of the New South Wales Citizens Bushmen’s Contingent 

The Problem

Contemporary newspapers of the day during the Boer War vied with each other to find a superlative to describe the actions of a particular person or formation. The contemporary description of 1012 Trooper Geoffrey Hamlyn HARRIS from the 1st Australian Horse illustrates clearly the problem. Originally from Tumut, NSW, and at just 19, was thought to be the youngest Australian to enlist and fight in the Boer War.

To ascertain the veracity of the claim, an examination of a single New South Wales formation where all the substantially information is available regarding the dates of birth of the various members.

Only one unit, the NSW Citizens' Bushmen, had almost complete records. In the following list are the members and the declared age at or after enlistment. In view of the younger men, it was obviously discovered after the event.

The list as best as can be constructed for the NSW Citizens' Bushmen, with the sorting from the youngest member to the oldest. Where the age is similar, the age cohort is arranged in an alphabetical format. The date of birth utilised was supplied after service from the Commonwealth and New South Wales rolls regarding this formation. The later rolls were constructed to ascertain potential and real pension liabilities of the two governments in relation to the men who served.
