Dear all

I was fortunate to acquire a QSA to an Officer, one Edmund Henry Allott of the 3rd Battalion, Lincs. Regiment. The medal is correctly engraved in running script and comes with his WWI trio (Lt. ASC on Star, Capt.on BWM and VM) and 1911 Coronation Medal.

Allott seems to have been a resident of Melsetter in Rhodesia from 1929 until his death.

Information of the Lincs Regt for the ABW appears to be quite scant. Is there anywhere I should be looking? And, does anyone know anything about the man?

Regards

Rory

Rory,

That sounds a nice find.

Not sure there is that much on the Lincolnshire in the Boer War. Happy to be corrected though!

I did find a little on your man:

Reverend HENRY HEPWORTH ALLOTT, Clerk
in Holy Orders, Rector of Stifford. Born June 25, 1842,
being the second son of the late Rev. John Allott of
Hague Hall, co. York, J. P., Rector of Maltby-le-Marsh,
CO. Lincoln, by his wife Catherine, dau. of William Wilson
of Louth, CO. Lincoln. Armorial bearings— On a plain
fesse, double cotised wavy azure, on a canton of the second,
two bars argent, charged with three swallows volant sable.
Mantling azure and or. Crest — On a wreath of the
colours, a dexter arm couped at the elbow, habited or,
charged with a fesse double cotised wavy azure, ens' argent,
the hand proper, holding a mullet gold. Motto— "Fortiter
et recte." Married, June 3, 1879, Alicia Georgiana, third
dau. of Rev. Henry Hanmer, Rector of Grendon, co. War-
wick; and has Issue— (i) Percy Brian Allott, Gentleman,
b. April 24, 1880 ; (2) Edmund Henry Allott, Gentleman,

; (3) Cyril Robert Allott, Gentleman, b.
Sept. 25, 1887 ; Evelyn Violet ; and Irene Georgiana. Postal

He even has a family motto!

I had a look for him in the 1903 Hart's but he is not listed. Probably left and rejoined?
