Hi Kevin

I have quite a bit to tell you!

Hulton started out life with the 69th Coy. Imperial Yeomanry (Susses) as no. 16461 and the rank of Corporal. He landed in South Africa on 24 April 1900 and was pronmoted to Lt.from the ranks on 4/2/01, on transfer to the SAMIF - South African Mounted Irregular Forces.

His QSA medal appears to have been issued off the IY roll and had the clasps Johannesburg, Diamond Hill, Cape Colony and Transvaal.

His KSA medal was issued to the SAMIF and the rank of Lieutenant and had the standard SA 1901 and 1902 clasps.

He was Gazetted as a Railway Staff Officer so I suggest you get onto the free London Gazette website and download the relevant page for the Boer War period.

I noticed that his initials were, at times, intercahngable from JAG to AGJ.

In 1904 he was involved in a court case with one Frederick Gibson Manning - you would have to pull the SA Archive file for further details.

Hope this helps

Regards

Rory

Hello Rory,
Where does the Transvaal clasp come from?

I'm rather confused, this man his five enteries in WO100, three QSA and two KSA, but a Transvaal clasp? WO100/126 page 85, WO100/276 page 5 and WO100/299 page 175 am I missing something?

I have already said it was my mistake apropos the clasp..

LOL, I think we were both typing at more or less the same moment, would be very good if this man had a Transvaal clasp, but, still a really good pair of medals!
