Hi David,

I recently acquired the following:

King’s South Africa, 2 bars, SA 1901, SA 1902 officially named to: 1361 Trooper Dunbar Haire, Steinaecker’s Horse.

Dunbar Haire enlisted in the regiment 25 April 1901. He was a 28 year old Irishmen who was 5’ 9” tall. He earned a QSA with three clasps; Tugela Heights, Relief of Ladysmith & Transvaal, while serving in the Natal Police from 11/10/1899 until 11/6/1900. Her served in Steinaecker's Horse from 25/04/1901 to 24/06/1902. He was discharged medically unfit from Steinacker’s Horse on 31/5/1902. His Medal was dispatched to Chicago, to the ‘Hills Hotel’ and Haire emigrated to the USA after the Boer War. He arrived at Ellis Island, New York City on 17 August 1904, to join his sister-in-law Mrs. R Taylor in New York. He died on 18 September 1908 in Manhattan, New York, aged 36. Through research, I found the following photos of his name on the manifest for the SS Oceanic that left Liverpool on 10 August 1904 and docked in NYC a week later on 17 August. There is also a photo of his headstone

If anyone knows where his QSA is, please contact me as I’d like very much to reunite the pair. He was awarded a QSA with TH, RoL and TR named to him as 2225 Tpr. D. Haire, Natal Mounted Police.

Hi Dave and Mike,

Thanks for locating Trooper Oexle on the Imperial Yeomanry list. Dave, if you wouldn't mind uploading his file, it would be much appreciated.
