The attached PDF contains the names of 648 single clasp QSAs to the Navy etc.

It seems that Hibberd's judgements on the relative scarcity of the 'Natal' clasp were faulty. Perhaps because I live in Natal, where such clasps are likely to turn up, I had developed an impression that they are not uncommon.

Shown below is a single clasp 'Natal' QSA from my collection. Murray's Horse was one of the more unusual irregular units raised in South Africa during the Boer War. It was in existence for less than a month, although its descendent, Murray's Scouts, served for much longer. There is an account of Murray's Horse elsewhere on this forum.

The Buchanans are an old Natal family, but I could not relate R Buchanan to any records in the Pietermaritzburg Archives.
