Biography contributed by Claude McKelvey

James Buchanan served twice in the South African (Boer) War, first as a Private S.N. 302 in the 3rd Queensland Mounted Infantry, and second as a Private S.N. 641 in the 6th Queensland Imperial Bushmen. He was discharged from his second service while still in South Africa so that he could remain in South Africa for employment. (source- AWM Boer War Nominal Roll, Murray p. 473 and 518; Trove Digitised Newspapers, The Brisbane Courier, 16 May 1902).
