I counted 420 DoK/RoM combinations in Kaplan's roll.

Thanks for that-many more than I would have thought.

A source quite local to me suggests 449 RoM clasps which equates to about 8% of DoK QSAs.

together with a ‘Siege of Kimberley’ Sweetheart’s brooch, in the form of a brass heart, this engraved ‘Boer Shell’, suspended from a brooch bar engraved ‘Siege of Kimberley 1899-1900’.

Only 77 medals issued with the combination of Basutoland and Bechuanaland clasps.

James Buchanan Jolly served with the Cape Mounted Rifles in Basutoland and Bechuanaland. During the Defence of Kimberley, he was attached to the Headquarters Staff and Depot of the Cape Police Mounted Branch; his low regimental number (22) indicates he was probably one of the earliest members of that Unit. He was attached to District 2 of the Cape Police, which was headquartered at Kimberley. A priority function of the detachment was to patrol the line of rail from the Modder River in the south to the town of Mafeking in the north. Elements of the Cape Police from King William's Town (District 1) were drafted in to support their sister District in this function on orders from the Corps Headquarters in Cape Town.
