Captain Lionel Manning Boddam was a British army officer who served in Bethuen's Mounted Infantry during the Anglo-Boer War (1899-1902) and was wounded near Lindley in the Free State on 31 December 1900. 

Boddam, with the assistance of G.A. Troye*, compiled Troye's new map of the Transvaal Colony (including Swaziland) which was published in Johannesburg by Crocott and Sherry from 1902 onwards This first complete geological map of the Transvaal included information on the diamond, gold and coal-mining districts and showed the Bushveld Complex correlated with the Cape System. It was probably partly based on Troye's 1892 map of the Transvaal.
