Hi,

In Conan Doyle's The great boer war.
The author talk about a famous dalgety namesake.
"The force was commanded by a dashing soldier, Colonel Dalgety, of the Cape Mounted Rifles, as tough a fighter as his famous namesake. "

Who is he ? Any clues ?

Thanks

@Boerwar,
Maybe you'll find him here?

These aren't actually all WW1 soldiers (as in fighting in the trenches), but may have been on active duty at and before that time.
