Thank you for your responses. I would love to see his photo.
In the meantime I have seen 2 pages from his Attestation papers (perhaps that is all there are)
in which he states that he had 1 months previous service : "Victoria Mounted Rifles 1 month. Left country"
Could this mean that he was in Australia before going to S Africa?
AFAIK the Victoria Mounted Rifles did not arrive in Africa until after he had enlisted on 25 Sept 1899.
This is a mystery
His papers confirm his family connections through the name and address of his brother in Cork.
Thanks again

Thanks to all who replied

Hi David,
Did you have any luck with finding the photo you mentioned of R V Ashe?

Thanks

Elandortt,

No, not yet but I haven't given up.
