QSA (4) Cape Colony, Orange Free State, Transvaal, South Africa 1901 (Lieut: J. B. K. Dodds. S.A.M.I.F.) officially re-impressed naming

John Barrass Kerr Dodds was born in Dudley, Northumberland, in April 1862 and emigrated to South Africa in February 1891. He served as a Lieutenant with the South African Mounted Irregular Forces during the Boer War from 27 April to 30 December 1901, having seen previous service with the Rand Rifles, and is also recorded on the Civilian Personnel Remount Depot roll as a Conductor.

Dear Forum members.

I am looking for confirmation on the clasp entitlement to a Lieutenant of the South African Mounted Irregular Forces. I believe he was entitled to a Cape Colony, Orange Free State and Transvaal plus 1901 clasp. I am having difficulty locating the Transvaal entitlement.

My man is - Lieutenant - Thomas Edward Shakeshaft Davies.

As always, your help is very much appreciated

Regards

Dave......
