Unable to pick this Tpr up on the Name Search on this site. Where in the RSA/Internet would/should I go to confirm on the roll and clasps? Thanks Stephen

The actual rolls are at the TNA Kew in WO127, his attestation sheet and perhaps another with his discharge will be their as well in W0126 Regards Frank

Hello Stephen,
When I saw this post, I assumed this was your first first medal to Brabants Horse and my mind went back to the very first Brabants Horse QSA I bought back in the 1990's.
You could just go out back then here and buy a couple on the same day and they were quite cheap compared to what they are now, happy days indeed!
Anyway, I found it yesterday and thought it may be of interest to you, so here it is; 69 Lance Sergeant Percy Miles.
Regards Frank
