Guest A. Booth Posted February 18, 2006 Posted February 18, 2006 I have the medal rolls for the QSA and the KSA for the Coldstream Guards and the K.O.S.B. and am willing to do some look ups.
GraemeR Posted February 18, 2006 Posted February 18, 2006 Talk about co-incidence.I picked up a 14/15 Star some time ago and have only started to research it in the last few days. The Star is to 6348 Pte P O'Neil KOSB. The CWGC website lists him as KIA Gallipoli 10 June 1915.It also states that he fought in the South Africa Campaign. By this I take it to mean the Boer War.It would be most appreciated if you could check your KOSB roll for me.Thanks very much.Graeme
Guest A. Booth Posted February 18, 2006 Posted February 18, 2006 6348 P. O'Neil, 1 st Bn., KOSB was awarded the QSA with bars Johannesburg, Cape Colony and Orange Free State. I could not find him under the KSA.
GraemeR Posted February 19, 2006 Posted February 19, 2006 Thanks very much. That is greatly appreciated.Although that's now 3 medals I must find to complete the group.CheersGraeme
deptfordboy Posted February 19, 2006 Posted February 19, 2006 That's the nature of the beast I guess Graeme! Gilbert
GraemeR Posted February 19, 2006 Posted February 19, 2006 It is indeed. There are always new avenues opening up before us.
Tony Posted February 19, 2006 Posted February 19, 2006 Graeme,That's a great piece of news to hear, good luck with your search.Tony
GraemeR Posted February 19, 2006 Posted February 19, 2006 Thanks.I have since found out from another source that a QSA for a P O'Neil was sold on e-bay a couple of years ago. So it is still out there.
