This may be of interest. Rules of the South African War Veterans' Association, London (H.Q.) Branch belonging to Pte Alfred Higginbottom, Middlesex Regiment, recalled to the colours in November 1899 and served through the Boer War earning the QSA with clasps Cape Colony, Orange Free State, and Transvaal, Tugela Heights, Relief of Ladysmith and Laings Nek and KSA with date clasps.

Neville, I recognise the name of Major Acraman DCM as a man who served with the Grenadier Guards at Belmont and Modder River. His rank was Colour Sergeant during the conflict. He wrote a very detailed "Letter From the Front" which was published in the British press.
A very appropriate gentleman to be at the forefront of that meeting.

Paul, I wonder where the flag of the Worcesters is now?

Cheers Steve
