Hi please contact me - My great grandfather was Edmund "Jack" Lawlor (Lalor) I al asking my mom (his granddaughter) for pics of him. We think we have medals too....

this is the info i have found:

Less known these days, is the story of Lalor, another former fighter with remarkable staying power. fficeffice" />>>
He was born Edmund Lawlor at Birr in what was then King's County, Ireland, on March 27, 1875. >>
As a 14-year-old, he signed up to join the army as a bugler and trombone player. The orderly scribbled “Lalor” on the application form and from then, in the eyes of Queen Victoria’s army, that was his name. >>
No one in the army called him Edmund. He was known as Johnny; later Jack. >>
When his regiment, the King’s Royal Rifles, was sent to Malta, he developed an interest in boxing. During a tournament between the navy and the army, he came in as a late substitute and won the middleweight championship. >>
Lalor arrived with his regiment in what was then Transvaal in 1895. His first recorded professional fight in Cape Town was in March 1897 when knocked out an opponent called Beyers in the first round. >>
He made his first challenge for an SA title when he lost on points over 20 rounds to Tom Duggan in Cape Town on March 5, 1900. They fought for the vacant middleweight title. >>
However, he won the vacant SA welterweight title when he stopped Charlie Doherty in the fifth round in Johannesburg, Johannesburg on October 17, 1903. >>
In 1914, the 39-year-old Lalor was generally recognised as the national champion in the welterweight, middleweight and heavyweight divisions. >>
In his last fight, in East London on June 14, 1919 when he was 44 years old, Lalor regained the welterweight title when he outpointed Ronald Dumar to finish his career with a record of 53 wins, 8 losses and 8 draws. >>
After his retirement, Lalor trained Johnny Squires, a future SA heavyweight champion. He also worked at the Grand Station Hotel in Jeppe, Johannesburg, and the place became a meeting place for boxing personalities. >>
Lalor was also an above-average cricketer and played until he was well into his sixties. He also played soccer and turned out as goalkeeper for Rangers and Caledonians in Johannesburg. >>
Paul Irwin, a top boxing writer and one-time sports editor of the Sunday Times, visited Lalor on his 87th birthday and wrote, “He wore a yellow flower in the buttonhole of a neat suit as he shuffled into the room in carpet slippers. He was old to the day – but his blue eyes were clear and his handshake was firm.” >>
Lalor, one of the legends of SA boxing, died on July 23, 1964. >>
