Thanks Smethwick, so R.B. Saner was eligible for:
Relief of Mafeking Clasp
Transvaal Clasp
Natal Clasp

I found him (and his brother Hubert Evelyn Saner) in the Colonial Scouts nominal roll here:

Couldn't find him in the Rand Rifles or 1st Scottish Horse.

An exact name search on this site for the unusual surname "Saner" comes up with the following list:



The Unit Information on this site includes information on the doings of South African raised units such as the Colonial Scouts and the others you mention.

Returning to Ancestry - Reginald Blaine Saner comes up on two public family trees. This one looks the best and if you click on any of the "Other Sources" they take you to Family Search (a free site) which will presumably give you the detail for each one. The creator Roy Blaine is still active on Ancestry and can me messaged via Ancestry as long as you are a member. Roy Blaine, on his profile, states his research interest is "The County Judges of Umatilla County"

I am curious who wrote this article (they have referenced this thread):
archistori.blogspot.com/2026/02/reginald-b-saner.html

They've included a photo of RB Saner's father Charles Taylor Saner, though they haven't given reference for the photo.

Charles Taylor Saner

"I am curious who wrote this article (they have referenced this thread)"

Interesting but I hasten to add - nothing to do with me.

Suggest the creator of the PFT on Ancestry as a likely candidate.

If you Google "Reginald Blaine Saner" this thread (despite it's title) comes top of several direct hits. (which must be gratifying to Dr David Biggins & others involved in this Forum's functionality).
