TOPIC:

Bradley (V.C.) and the chaps who won DCM's for Itala are well documented but, would anyone know where to find the names of the other 69th men from the 2 batteries that fought there? I have acquired the pair to 5906 Bomb. C.H. Robertson who, like many others, went "missing" at Blood River Poort on 21 September 1901, only to be released a day or so later.

I would like to determine if Robertson went on to Itala.

Only one section of the 69th was present at Itala, the Battery Digest of Service only lists the casualties. I doubt there is an official record, newspapers and letters are your best bet.

Further to my post around the 69th R.F.A. at Itala - sadly I have not been able to advance this avenue of research but, having now received the medals, I am in a position to post a few photos thereof.
