What a memory!

KSA (2) on 100/363p143.

His KSA was sold by Spink in October 1999 for £46 so perhaps a re-unite for someone?

There were 3 Langs in the Carbineers and in Ladysmith. RA Lang had identical service to PP Lang in the NC and VCR, earning the same entitlement, but WA Lang went to the FID and earned his KSA there.

Liverpool Medals are offering the Natal (0) Medal to Trooper H R Mercer for £195.

There is a 959 Trooper H Mercer on the Boer War rolls for the NCs.
