Very nice and well done. An "M Battery Rof M" has been on my wants list for some time! The Kaplan roll has it that fifty seven Rof M entitlements listed for M Battery.T he "reservist" notation might disclose previous service. BTW, your man is not shown in the Palmer Casualty list.

Thank you. I was pleased to find one to an imperial soldier. It’s interesting that in the Medals Yearbook, there is nothing in the column for British Army for a RoM clasp. I’m unfamiliar with the Palmer Report; what is it please? Thanks for your kind assistance. Best, John

The Palmer Casualty roll is an alphabetical listing of British and Colonial ABW casualties; rather than the SAFF roll - which listing is by regiments. Frankly neither is perfect inasmuch as each has errors and gaps. However, they are available without having to sell the house and I refer to mine for basic info.
Always liked the RofM clasp; Plumer's men had a long slog while Mahon's lads did the lightning dash. For the latter effort, I have custody of a couple of examples to Pom Poms RA.
