Hi
My name is Gordon,
I’m looking for information about my grand father that went to the Boer war
Name : Allan MacInnes
PTE 3846
1st Cameron Highlanders

I also have a few of his medals ( can’t put the picture ... file too big)

Everywhere I search I don’t get any result
Can you guys help me ? Please
Thank you !

Welcome Gordy,

He served in the Sudan in 1898 at Atbara and Khartoum. For this he received the Queen's Sudan Medal and a 2 clasp Khedive's Medal.

In the Boer War he received the clasps Johannesburg, Diamond Hill, Wittebergen and Cape Colony and the KSA with both clasps.

No service papers seems to have survived for him.

The picture needs to be less than 2000 px and below 500k.

Thank you for your quick reply !
I was wandering how did you get the information if there is no service papers ...

Where did you get the information about the medals ?

Thank you .
