Can anyone help find me a Herbert Belsar who apparently served in the South African Light Horse? His record doesn’t appear in any of the usual online military records such such the Australian National Archives, the Australian Light Horse Studies Centre, or in PL Murray’s Official Records of the Australian Military Contingents to the War in South Africa book. Or in any State Colonial regiments, such as Victoria, that I’ve searched. His WW1 Enlistment Attestation states he had active service in the South Africa War for 15 months as a corporal in the SALH. The only Belsar surname listed in any record i can find is for his father Richard Henry Belsar of the 6th Aust. Commonwealth Horse. I’ve tried various surname spelling combinations to no avail. Any ideas or suggestions where to go next?

Surviving SAMIF rank and file papers are in WO126 at Kew, in the particular case of the SALH, a careful look throughout WO126/130-138 would be the way to go.
