Hi to you All
Just a brief introduction:
A long shot - but does anyone have photos of the 101st Company, 5th Battalion?
My GGF was a private from 1901-1902
This is all the information I have from Ancestry.com
Service: 5 Mar 1901 • Newcastle upon Tyne
Short Service attestation Imperial Yeomanry military number 32602 QSA Clasps: CC,OFS,T,SA01,SA02
Explanation on the medals would be welcomed too
Thanks

Hi Catspy
Welcome to the forum
Enclosed your GG Fathers papers and medal roll.
The 101st Northumberland company were raised in 1901.
His Queens South Africa medal was awarded with 5 clasps.
Cape Colony, Orange Free State, Transvaal plus the 2 date bars 1901 /1902
Those were the areas in South Africa your GG Grandfather served in.
As for images, you may be able to source one through the Northumberland Fusiliers museum which is located at Alnwick Castle in Northumberland.








I wish you well in your research.

Best wishes

Dave.......

Many thanks Dave for that interesting information. I'll see what I can find out from the Museum.
