QSA (3) Cape Colony, South Africa 1901, South Africa 1902 (155 Tpr. A. Brown. Warren’s M.I.) a somewhat later issue with small impressed naming and fixed suspension, polished, therefore good fine

Abraham Brown was born in 1866, possibly in the United States, his wife residing at La Cross, Wisconsin at the time of his enlistment into Warren’s Mounted Infantry in January 1901. He was discharged at Cape Town in June 1902. His name appears on the medal roll for four other units: Scott’s Railway Guards (No. 1920), Western Light Horse (No. 171), Worcester District Mounted Troops (No. 34), and Peninsula Horse (No. 1355).

QSA (2) Cape Colony, South Africa 1901 (211 Cpl:- Far: J. A. Jackson. Warren’s M.I.)

James Andrew Jackson.

CC and SA01 on WO100/278p18. SA01 also on WO100/278p46.

Also served De Aar TG and Lieutenant, Beaufort West DMT.

QSA issued 30 June 1904.

I have just received the QSA with CC clasp to a Captain William Brown from Warren's Mounted Infantry. Despite being an officer I have not been able to find anything at all about his prior service. The given minimum period of service with Warren's MI seems to have been three months, Captain Brown does a single month from 12th March to 12th April 1901. He also qualified for the clasp SA1901 so he must have served a lot longer than that both before and after his time with Warren's MI. Any assistance with research here is greatly appreciated.

Unfortunately, the medal rolls for WMI offer no information regarding Capt. W. Brown's service in any other unit. In the Boer War services of Military Officers, the section dealing with WMI does not show your man as serving up to as late as 9/1901 (The last return received).
