My man GW Ward was number 398 QMS with the Corps of Cattle Rangers.

My problem is that both on Ancestry and on WO100/241 there are only a few names to this unit. How would I find Ward?

Regards

Yes, a bit of a puzzle! However, it must exist as Neil Smith's booklet covering the CofCR shows (apparently) a nominal roll - but no clasp entitlements. Your man shown as "P398 QMS George W. Ward, address Pretoria, Transvaal and discharged 5/11/01". I had a bit of a trawl through WO100/241 in case the pages were mis-filed; no luck.
Regards
IL.
Could it be tucked away amid the ASC rolls?

The PDF from TNA of 241 is evidently missing surnames A-W of the Cattle Rangers that would be inserted before page 214. The second or third copy of the roll must have it. It will probably be next to the Xalanga Mounted Rifles!
