TOPIC:

I've acquired a QSA with clasps Defence of Ladysmith and Orange Free State to the above chap.

How would one determine if he was one of the POW's taken at Nicholson's Nek?

I would like to find if the following was also a POW.......

4964 PRIVATE E. BOX, 1st BATTALION, GLOUCESTERSHIRE REGIMENT, DEFENCE OF LADYSMITH, ORANGE FREE STATE

Thanks

I have "all" the POWs listed on FmP and The Register.

However for your two guys - the DoL clasp means he wasn't a POW prior to Feb 1900 (relief of ladysmth). Nicholson's Nek POWs received the 'Natal' and 'Transvaal' clasps.

I would wager your guys weren't POWs.
