A birth of about 1840 would mean he would have been about 40 in the Zulu War and 50? for the first Boer.
That would be too old. The Zulu dates were 1877-1879, the 1st Boer War 1880-81. So this 70 year old (1908) is unlikely to be the Thomas in the 1890 fracas.

[on the other hand, the incarcerated Thomas Craig with a birth year of 1859 is a perfect age for a Zulu war campaigner. ]
