Tj15 Posted March 16, 2019 Author Posted March 16, 2019 Hi Mike, Thank you, I appreciate it. I always struggle finding information so this really helps. Did you find the this info on ancestry, I had a look and couldn't find anything. I would like to do a bit more digging in this and other Boer war medals I have. Thanks again, J
QSAMIKE Posted March 17, 2019 Posted March 17, 2019 Hello J...... No I have the medal roll for the Black Watch from 1801 to 1911 and found him there..... If you are really interested in the Boer War and the QSA I suggest that you might like to join the following forum...… www.angloboerwar.com Mike
