Gents,

Starting out on researching a QSA belonging to Tpr R Riddell Brabants Horse Regt # 20060 with ones training wheels on. Unable to pick this Tpr up on the Name Search on this site. Where in the RSA/Internet would/should I go to confirm on the roll and clasps?

Thanks
Stephen

Hi Stephen,
The nominal rolls for both 1st and 2nd Brabants Horse are on this site under unit information.
The actual rolls are at the TNA Kew in WO127, his attestation sheet and perhaps another with his discharge will be their as well in W0126
Regards Frank

Stephen,
Found him on there, Robert Riddell, 2nd Brabants Horse, joined 30th October 1900, discharged 16th May 1901.

Just checked on Ancestry
He is confirmed on the rolls for
SA1901 Cape Colony Orange Free State & Transvaal.

Hello Stephen,
When I saw this post, I assumed this was your first first medal to Brabants Horse and my mind went back to the very first Brabants Horse QSA I bought back in the 1990's.
You could just go out back then here and buy a couple on the same day and they were quite cheap compared to what they are now, happy days indeed!
Anyway, I found it yesterday and thought it may be of interest to you, so here it is; 69 Lance Sergeant Percy Miles.

A very nice medal, one to which I am envious.
Thank you for sharing.
