817 PRIVATE HERMANUS JULIUS GRIEB

Hermanus Julius Grieb served during the Anglo Boer War with the Frontier Light Horse, formerly known as the District Mounted Rifles.
Following his discharge from the FLH he was listed as a Trooper on the strength of "B" Squadron of the Cape Colonial Forces.


Entitlement to the Queen's South Africa medal confirmed on Medal Roll WO100/247 for Frontier Light Horse and WO100/239 for Cape Colonial Forces.


Number and naming.


Regimental naming.

On both Medal Rolls another two recruits bear the surname Grieb. I strongly suspect that they are family members.

Hermanus Julius Grieb was recorded as being the Manager of a Ntsundwana Trading Store on his death certificate and died from a chronic cardiac arrest at this address on the 7th July 1952. He was married and was 69 years of age and had suffered from emphysema of chest for two years.
