Hi everyone.
I purchased a group of medals the qsa ksa being named to 2148 tpr j a earle natal police.
Whilst I have found him being awarded th and rol bars, there is a talana bar for which I can not find him being entitled, and no mention of his name on ksa roll. The naming looks right and the qsa ksa have a nice equal tone. How do I proceed with confirming either way the ksa award. I hope I've managed to capture the naming well enough for comments,.
Later fought with glouc yeo in gallipoli and later commissioned
Thanks in advance for any help etc and here's to a better 2021. Rob

Rob,

Welcome to the forum!

The medal roll (WO100/261p126) confirms his entitlement to the TH and RoL clasps. The roll notes he was discharged 31 May 1901.

He does not appear to have served at Talana although 48 Natal Police did.

The KSA to the Natal Police has been one of the longest standing threads on the forum: www.angloboerwar.com/forum/5-medals-and-...l-police?start=0#136
