Date | Original Topic | 5th April 2005 | Surgeon-Major Shepherd By Colum O'Rourke Thanks for all the help from everyone lately.Where was Mister Shepherd from and what year was he born in? Hard man to find info on | Date | Replies | 5th April 2005 | John Young Colum,
There is nothing hard about finding information on Peter Shepherd, his biography, along with his photograph, appears on pages 279-280 of MacKinnon & Shadbolt's 'South African Campaign of 1879', first published 1880, reprinted in 1882 with minor amendments and the addition of one photograph. There is a 1995 edition available; ISBN 1-85367-203-3, published by Greenhill Books.
Nothing is too hard if you know where to look, even in Ireland - try starting with your local newspapers
John Y. | 10th April 2005 | AMB Colum,
The internet is a wonderful tool......
AMB | 11th May 2005 | Michael Boyle ...and this happens to be part of the internet.However, books are the first line of defence (and offence) in knowledge and you will find a wonderful resource guide in the 'books' and 'book reviews' section of this forum. (If you haven't reached your dead line yet!)
Best
Michael
