Mike (& Norman and Alf!),

Thank you so much for searching that reference out for me, much appreciated.

Was this what was in OMRS Journal? If not, the issue with the RSA medal to War Correspondents was Vol 25(2) pp96–101 ... just in case anyone happens to have a copy to hand, or maybe you can advise where I could see one?

The odd thing is that he returned from SA and became a stockbroker! I can't quite get my head around how he'd move from journalism to broking - it's a big leap of faith as well as expertise.

Adrian thanks again for your help too and I'll be sure to post any results from my forthcoming visit to Kew here to help others.

Kindest regards
Annie

Hello Annie.....

This is where this information is from.....

Edition: Year: Number:

Summer 1986 191 War Correspondents: South Africa 1899-1902
Summer 1987 195 War Correspondents and other Civilian Claimants

I am sure that the British Library or the Library at either the NAM or IWM should have copies.....

Mike

Mike,

Thank you - you are an absolute STAR! Having gotten into a real muddle some years ago, I'm now a real stickler for recording sources. The BL is on my list of forthcoming research venues, so I'll have a good rummage on this account while I'm there.

With kindest regards
Jane
