Evening Arthur and welcome aboard. I hope this of use. BTW the book is an excellent read.

Welcome Arthur,

There is a list of the 54 men of this unit who received medals here; angloboerwar.com/unit-information/dmt/2578-matjesfonteindmt

Other tgan that, there is little information on the site. It you do discover some information, I would be be pleased to add it to their page.

Best wishes
David

One further suggestion, if you type Matjecfontein into the search bar in the top right of the screen you'll see 43 hits across the pages and PDFs on the site, though most of these are mentions of the town I think.

Dear David,
Very many thanks for alerting me to Dean Allen's book; for which I am lucky to have a
copy of this ground-breaking work.
Kind regards
Arthur

Dear David,
My thanks again for your second message with regard to the above Unit.
I am afraid that I do not appear to be able to gain access to list of the 54 names
who served with the Unit; and subsequently were awarded medals, possibly
the QSA and/or KSA. It would suggest to me on the evidence (so far) that the
Unit did see action affiliated to a larger Light Horse or Mounted Infantry regiment.
Somewhere, on a website I am sure I have seen this to be the case. Unfortunately,
I did not make a note of the source!
The only members of the Unit I have come across are:
Logan. William Source W0100/283
Logan (junior) James D Source W0100/283
Lohmann George A Source W0100/283

Kind regards
Arthur
