Afternoon

First post here, came across this site after doing some geneology research on my great great grandfather who served with the Eastern Province Horse .
I have always had an interest in militaria having purchased numerous medals and other items in the past, I have a strong interest in military history that normally focused on WWII but with my recent family links I have taken a deeper interest in the ABW (linked to this is I currently live in Mafikeng).
I hope to have more posts soon.
Regards
Rob

Hi Rob, welcome aboard. Do you have you g-g-grandfather's name. There are plenty of people here who would be interested. Do you have his medal or any ephemera?

Hi David
Thank you, yes I have his name Thomas Robert Parsons with the Eastern Province Horse, I found his attestation papers on this site that's how I came across this forum.
I unfortunately don't have any of his medals, although that will be a goal of mine.

Those particular medals for his service in the Anglo Boer War would be a really super pair to actually have, I think would search WO126/164,166-167 if I were you, in the hope that his Western Province Mounted Rifles paper has remained extant, his KSA is very clearly shown in WO100/367.
