2. Pair - QSA Bar: DOK - 20 Serjt W.J Donohoe - Cape Police

Good morning
Medals and clasps are verified and correct, Masters is shown on WO100/240 page 225, the main roll of Cape Police District 1 and was issued on the 18th of May 1904.
Donohoe, Wiliam Jos (assume Joseph/Josiah etc) is on WO100/240 page 252, the main roll of Cape Police District 2, in addition he is shown crossed out on WO100/359 page 155, this is their KSA roll.
Any surviving papers are in your country!
Kind regards Frank

Hello Anthony,

The papers to Masters have survived but those to Donohoe have not. You are in luck, if you send me an email address I will send you a copy of Masters papers very shortly.

Cheers
Adrian

Anthony,

William Masters attested into the CP on the 1st April 1901 aged 20 years. Born Manchester he was a Groom and Car man.

Awaiting email address.

Cheers
Adrian

Thanks Adrian

Anthony,

Donohoe's single clasp QSA is verified in my Kimberley book. The only information I have on him is that he served in the CP dismounted branch (barrier & redoubt duties) during the siege.

Kind regards
David
