When Charles Fraser enlisted in 1899 in the 1st QMI 'A Company' and his details were published with the rank and file in The Brisbane Courier, 18 Nov 1899, it was noted he was single and from Shakespeare Street, Mackay.
In his entry in the original nominal roll of the 1st Queensland Contingent, his NAA Boer War Dossier, and newspaper reports of his embarkation to South Africa, his surname is recorded as Fraser. However, in the Boer War Service Paybooks for the 1st QMI, Bk 1 p. 43, his surname is recorded as Frazer.
