Hi
I’m a newbie at this, amateur military researcher, today I received this medal 1901 & 1902 South Africa campaign clasps.
Around the rim it shows 5, then G R Cook then R.H.A
I cannot find any records of this soldier.
Can anyone help please.?

Welcome to the Forum, Cookie 63.

That sounds unusual naming to a men in the RHA. Can you double check that that is exactly what is written on the rim please?
