sourceI beleive this to be a distant relative of mine. My Grandmother Helen Margaret Whelan (nee Falcon) who is still alive and will be 99 in Nov 01 gave me an outstanding family tree researched by her father. In which there is the following entry: 'Guy Falcon 6th son of the Rev John Falcon educated at St Bees Grammer School. In California fruit farming for some years, then to South Africa as a manager of one of Rhode's fruit farms at Wellington, Cape Colony. Served with Robert's Horse in the South African War and was killed in action at Tewnty-Four Streams, Piquetburg Road, Cape Colony 16th Oct 1901. Interred at Wellington.' He was the younger brother of Nursing Sister M Falcon who also died during the war. Her story can be found under M Falcon.
