He must have rejoined after November 1906 - probalby served 1/12/1907 - 24/12/1907 as he is in a photo of the band taken in 1908.

Mark,

'Needs' and 'wants', so easily confused!

Mike,

That's a rather special DLI QSA.

Have the names of the men on that particular train been agreed and documented somewhere?

Hi David.....

I posted this on British Medals Forum and a large amount of information was sent to me.....

I just had a look at it again and the question was "Was He" not "He Was" I guess I typed it out wrong.... Sorry.....

I did not research Young, except to establish that he was not involved in the armoured train incident. The medal moved on because I started to focus on collecting medals of Natal Policemen and mounted soldiers with Natal links.
