South African units

Hello Wendy..... Just found your posting..... No. 1 You are correct that SADLR is Saddler which was a very professional trade..... I looked on the Imperial Yeomanry roll because I was interested to see if he had another rank like Sergent Saddler or Corporal but there was only the listing: Saunders, Edward Thomas 7535, Saddler 36th Coy., 11th Bn. I.Y. With regards to the badge..... It is the badge of The Queen's Own West Kent Yeomanry (Hussars)..... This unit provided men to serve in the Imperial Yeomanry..... By the way you read the bars / clasps on the medal from the bottom up as the one closest to the medal was the first earned.... Since he has the 1901 bar / clasp on his Queen's South Africa Medal there is a 99% chance that he was not entitled to the King's Medal..... He is not listed as having rec'd a gallantry medal so I think that this is the only one he rec'd.... Mike
