Hi Alice
Your Grandfather's death is recorded as Lisburn, Antrim 1919 aged 44
The medal rolls state he was entitled to the folowing clasps to his QSA
Cape Colony,Orange Free State,Transvaal, South Africa 1901 & 1902
It also states " Returned with unit on S.S. Norham Castle"
Hope this helps

Paul,

I sent for my grandfather's death certificate (Joseph Marnell) born 1875
in Antrim, Lisburn, Ireland and it has recorded death as
1927. I am wondering where you got the 1919 information.
Thanks, Alice
