My Grandather William Roodt Lesch born in Dordrecht 1875, and his brother were with The Cape Mounted Police and later when disbanded , William became a Cape Mounted Rifleman. William received a long service award in 1932 ( died in 1935) and both him and his brother Edward Charles Lesch received good conduct medals from the Cape Mounted a police.
Tracing back from various documents - it appears they also spent a considerable time at Maclear and Barkley East in the Eastern Cape.
William retired to a Venterstadt, Cape.
