Hello Danny,

Yes, the medals would be noted. All men that were awarded the QSA and KSA had them entered onto the pages with clasps and also any post Boer War awards.For example those that served with the CMR contingent during the Natal 1906 uprising had the Natal 06 medal entered as well as any LSGC medals that they might have had. This up to 1913. Some also have the CGHGS medal entered.

He has nothing on his pages therefore it is very safe to assume that he had none after the Boer War.

Cheers
Adrian
