I can't find this guy. I'll have my South African crew dig through archives, unless someone finds him on CWGC.

Hello Ralph

I have found the following references to someone called H W Hall.

The first is in the Pretoria archives and I will have a look at this one.

The second is in the Cape archives and I would have to ask my lady there to have a look at this file.

I will look at the Pretoria one first and see whether its relevant. I

know the year is wrong but that may be when his widow applied for a pension.

Also, this man was in the Nyasaland Field Force.

Kind regards

Audrey
