Trivia connecting Sir Arthur Conan Doyle with Dr. Jameson:

In the Sherlock Holmes story "The Adevnture of the Three Garridebs", Holmes trips up a so-called American visitor with a ploy: "By the way, it is curious that you should have come from Topeka. I used to have a correspondent–he is dead now–old Dr. Lysander Starr, who was mayor in 1890.”

Given Conan Doyle's proximity to the Boer War it is likely that his choice of the name Dr. Lysander Starr was (intentionally or otherwise) linked to Jameson.
