Hession: Boer War Soldiers
Records[1][2][3] related to the Boer War, a conflict that developed between the combined forces of the South African Republic and the Orange Free State and Britain in the period 1899 -1901, reveal that a small number of Hession individuals participated directly in the war. The data available suggests that the majority of the Hession individuals who freely elected to serve Britain, through some form of moral obligation related to direct citizenship or as part of some affiliation as members of the British Empire, were from Australia and descendants of Hession families from Ireland that include, but are not limited to those in County Galway and County Mayo.
