Welcome Nich,

L Cpl AM Barron is listed in the QSA roll for a no clasp medal, page WO100/266p26. No notes on the roll.

The list of names on the Rand Rifles page comes from the nominal so he is not listed there.

Here is his attestation paper from WO126/112. This will hopefully act as a spur for further research.



Kind regards
David
