Delete - original research with a "book title" name. I suppose there might be some value in an article titled Hession involvement in the Boer War or a separate section at Boer War#Hessios but I'm not convinced either is necessary. This is littered with primary sources and extrapolated conclusions. St★lwart¹¹¹ 03:01, 13 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Clear genealogical cruft. Just a list of people with a given surname who took part in a given war. -- Necrothesp (talk) 10:53, 13 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
