Hi
I am trying to see if it is possible to pin down anything on the earning of a DCM, by 185 Serjt CH Russell of the Imperial Light Horse. He has the DCM, a QSA to the ILH and a BSAP Medal to the MRF.
He is mentioned in White's despatches on 2 December 1899, and Lord Robert's recommendation on 2 April 1901.
He was a Corporal in both.
Given the mention by White it could be for Waggon Hill, which wasn't that long before where the ILH were engaged? But if it came from Robert's one, it would be for anything.
Anyone know of a book or direction to look in?
Thanks for the help!
