Just now I went through the FID QSA/KSA rolls. Must take my hat off to David Buxton; some of the names are very hard to read. Anyway. no reference on the QSA roll for Guide D.C.Trollip. However, the KSA roll shows an entry for a Guide D.Trollip with a marginal entry says "Eastern Province Horse".

Thanks IL - Yes quite so - Trollip's QSA is to the Eastern Province Horse and his KSA to the FID

I have a QSA/KSA pair to Harry Forbes, for whom I already have a lot of information, but perhaps your book has more.
The QSA has OFS and Transvaal clasps rivetted on, and Cape Colony loose on the ribbon. Forbes is named as a Guide, while on the KSA he is a Scout.

The Buxton book shows Guide H.Forbes as attached to Intelligence Department, Harrismith District, clasps "OFS" and Transvaal" and a KSA. For Other Ranks, 205 QSA/KSA issued for FID. I will have a look through the rolls tomorrow to see if I can pick up anything extra.
Best regards
