TOPIC:

I've just acquired a QSA/KSA pair to John William Wheatland Edwards who served as a Farrier Sergeant in Thorneycroft's M.I. before transferring to Steinaecker's where he was the Veterinary Officer.

Can anyone help me with the T.M.I. side of things? I don't have access to Droogelever's book but do know that Edwards served with A Company - the nominal roll for this company is on the unit page of this site but, importantly, the "D" to "F"s are missing.





Regards

Rory

Hello Rory,

Hope this helps.



Cheers

From "Thorneycroft's "Unbuttoned"'; He served with TMI as 8665 and from 20/10/99 to 5/3/01. SH from 10/6/01 to 31/5/02. Hailed from PMB, Natal.
There is nothing additional in Woolmore's book on SH.

This pair arrived today:

- Queens South Africa Medal with clasps Cape Colony, Tugela Heights, Orange Free State, Relief of Ladysmith, Transvaal and Laing's Nek to VET: LIEUT: J.W.W. EDWARDS. STEINAECKER'S HORSE

- Kings South Africa Medal with clasps South Africa 1901 & 1902 to Lt. & V.O. J.W.W. EDWARDS. Steinaecker's H.

A very tidy pair of medals there.
I especially like the rank of Veterinary Lieutenant!
