Ok solved it IT was an I not an S and an H not an A. Imperial Hospital corps IHC not SAC 08/07/01- 19/01 or 02?/02. Was he a pacifist or was he an Uitlander refugee. Was he at Spion Kop?

Tim,

He earned the 4 clasps to his QSA: OFS, Tr, RoL and LN.

If you do not already have it, I would suggest you would find the QSA roll for Driscoll's Scouts (in WO100/245) very useful. It can be downloaded for free from the National Archives site.

Best wishes

Hi David
Thank you I now have that. Tried to look if I could download attestation/ enrolment forms of the Driscoll Scouts to no avail. What would it cost to get these? They give a lot of info like next of kin and addresses etc.
Regards
Tim

Tim,

None of the attestation papers are available online at TNA.

I have contacted someone who may be able to help and will email you more on this.

Kind regards
