Just thought I would add this on to this thread, hoping for some information.
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
