    Gen. BOTHA and SMUTS are always to be rememberd as South African Boer soldiers whom became great British Leaders in South Africa and in the United Kingdom.

    Gen. SMUTS was even selected by Winston CHURCHILL in WWII to replace him as PM, in the event that he was killed...
    Gen. SMUTS was also responsible for the Formation of the Royal Air Force, seperate to the Flying Corps and Royal Naval Air Service.

    Excellent subjects to remember for WWI and WWII.

    The Canadian Great War Project website has some basic service details for Captain Wallace: www.canadiangreatwarproject.com/searches/soldierDetail.as... Captain Wallace appears in the 1891 and 1891 censuses at Lamesley with his parents Henry Atholl Wallace and Jessie Ellis. He had 3 older sisters and by 1891 a further 3 siblings. He married Winifred Laura Jane Archer circa 1902 in Gateshead, Durham and by 1906 they were living in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada where they had been since 1902 according to the census record, so presumably straight after marrying. No children are shown on the 1906 census and Winifred's age is given as 22 (she was born in 1881 in Gateshead), with Henry's shown as 26.
