Tim,

I have not been through all of the attestation papers for DrSc but I have seen hand written attestation papers for other South African units.

His prior service could have been on the Boer side?

Do you have any information Attestation papers for Trp F Gillian and Trp G Glennie both DrSc

Tim there is a 235 Trooper Frank Gillan (rather than Gillian)

G Glennie

Tim,

I am going to merge this thread with the one on Medals to Driscoll's Scouts: www.angloboerwar.com/forum/5-medals-and-...scouts?start=0#67723

I have in my collection a lone KSA to 1136 Trooper William Villiers. From the roll I can see he was active from the very start of the Boer War.
1) NAVC 9/12/99-21/2/00
2) imperial Bearer Corps 23/03/00-5/2/01
The a large gap of just over a year
3) Driscoll Scouts 25/03/02- 30/06/02
On the DS roll it does say that he was in the SAC but I can't find any record of him there.
Also It would appear that he is entitled to the QSA I wonder what bars and if any member knows of it's whereabouts.
