South African (Second Boer) War: 1899-1902, Embarkation Roll: MAL to MAT
Topic: BW - Boer War

South African (Second Boer) War, 1899-1902

Australian Participation - Full Index

Embarkation Roll: MAL to MAT

The following is an alphabetical roll of all Australians known members of the many military formations which embarked overseas during the South African (Second Boer) War, 1899-1902.

Each man is detailed on this reference list with the following information:

Service Number;
Rank on Embarkation;
First Names;
Family Name;
If applicable, any false name employed; and,
Service unit.

Notes

Note 1: All soldiers’ names are linked to the specific unit and date when embarkation occurred.

Note 2: There are duplications of some names in the following list. The reason for this is that the soldier embarked on more than one occasion. This was the simplest way of resolving the problem of multiple entries for a single individual.

Aggregation of the Reports

A comparison of all the reports highlights the problem of understanding the event that actually occurred. Coulter was wounded. That is the theme of all the notifications. The list includes other Australian newspapers although the extracts are not above. The results are tabulated below.

Newspaper	Regt. No.	Name of Casualty	Place
Sydney Mail		AE Coulter B Pipeding	Uikomet
Adelaide Advertiser		AE Coulter B Pipeding	Uikomit
The West Australian		AE Coulter B Pipeding	Inkomat
Sydney Morning Herald		AE Coulter B Pipeday	Uikomat
Melbourne Argus		AE Coulter B Pipeding	Uikomit
London Times	1455 1498	AE Coulter B Pickering	Uitkomst

With the diversity of information, it was difficult for the reader of this news to know if the received information was accurate. Each report had elements that were correct but all provided incorrect information about this particular event. The surprising issue is that there was only one telegrapher in South Africa issuing the specific information. It is amazing how this information has varied according to the source receiving the information.
