Paul,
A bit of a let down really, checked the BMI in WO126/2 and nothing found, however the Imperial Light Horse was a differant story, will be in touch!

1384 Trooper Joseph Hanly Bethunes Mounted Infantry
Also served with the Imperial Light Horse the 1st City (Grahanstown) Volunteers and City of London Imperial Volunteers.
He was also entitled to the KSA
If anyone has any other information on Joseph I would be most grateful.

Thanks for looking
Paul
