QSA (5) Tugela Heights, Relief of Ladysmith, Transvaal, Laing’s Nek, South Africa 1901 (173 Tpr: J. Von Elling. Umvoti M.R);
Natal (0) (Sub: Leader J. Von Elling, New Hanover Res.)

M&E say 'J. von Elling of the Umvoti Mounted Rifles is listed on the medal roll (but full clasp entitlement is unclear); roll also confirms the Natal Rebellion Medal (Sub Leader).'

The roll is clear (WO100/260p47)



SA01 listed on WO100/260p53.

If Meek had been wounded while serving with the UMR, the event would have been recorded in Coghlan's exhaustive history of the regiment. Such excitements were rare while the UMR was on its generally peaceful active service, so the event would have attracted a lot of attention. Doing so while with the VCR has, as far as I know, left no published record. If one exists at all, it is likely to be hidden in the Maritzburg Archives.

I wouldn't know where to look David. This sort of record is hard to find if it exists at all.
