hi all I purchased this qsa some time ago to a pte p Hennessey Lancashire fusiliers 9431 mounted broach style I know this unit was involved in the battle of spion kop the only info I have found is that he served with the 6th battalion (anglo boer war web site) I did read that men who were involved in this battle should have the relief of ladysmith clasp but I am sure I saw his name on the roll of men present at spion kop just cant remember were I saw it a bit outside my collecting area any info appreciated

Hello Mickey.....

I do not think that your man was involved in the battle of Spion Kop.....

The battle was mostly fought by the 2nd Battalion.....

His FMP entry is below......
