TOPIC:

I am interested to find or compile a list of units that qualified for this clasp - the list in British Battles & Medals is incomplete.

A recent post on the subject on British Medal Forum produced a few oddities.

Other than downloading & reading every roll does anyone know a way to do this or even better has anyone done it already!?

Robert.

Here is a list from the embryonic Relief of Mafeking roll:

British South Africa Police 37
Cape Police 3
Commander in Chief's Body Guard 34
Damant's Horse 9
Imperial Light Horse 20
Johannesburg Mounted Rifles 4
Kimberley Volunteer Regiment 2
Mafeking Railway Volunteers 1
Queensland Mounted Infantry 98
Rhodesia Regiment 356
Royal Canadian Field Artillery 63
Royal Fusiliers 1
South African Constabulary 30
South African Light Horse 1
South Rhodesia Volunteers 596
Yorks and Lancs Regiment 1

There are also Rhodesia clasps to the IY, Corps, FID and to the Australian Forces too.

The thread on single clasp Rhodesia medals contains other units too. www.angloboerwar.com/forum/singleclaspqsas/8740-rhodesia

Best wishes
