| Graves,
Here's a clue.
He would serve in both Boer Wars.

| No, Hill wasn't a Special Service officer, he was deployed with his regiment.

| I haven't got a clue either but he has quite distinctive features. Was he also a Special Service Officer in both Boer Wars or with his regiment?

| Steve,
He was a Special Service officer in 1880-1, at the start of the 1899-1902 outing he was serving in different regiment to the one he was originally commissioned into. By the conclusion of it he wasn't in a regiment at all.

| Lt William Francis Dundonald Cochrane 32nd regiment almost fits but not quite. He was a Special Service officer and went on to become a Major-General, but I don't think he served in the Boer Wars. |

| Graves,
Well done, the next clue was to have been that his son would outrank him!
Steve,
He hadn't changed too much in twenty-odd years had he.
