Boer War: Newport Volunteers
Six members of the local Artillery Volunteers went to fight in the Boer War (1899 – 1902). They left from Newport Station and James Duncan, Stationmaster, gave them all return tickets. Sadly, only one returned. A memorial plaque to the other five was unveiled in the Leng Chapel of Vicarsford cemetery on 24 May 1902.
