TOPIC:

No, absolutely not, just reading this thread, I note that it has not been mentioned that the original regiment was disbanded on the 7th of July 1902 at Elandsfontein, the Transvaal Volunteer force had yet been formed, it was modelled on the Natal Volunteers by the Provisional Administration in the Transvaal and it's regiments all had their badges and accoutrements made here in Great Britain.
The rarest would be Kitchener's Fighting Scouts, it was almost immediately disbanded, it's name being just too contentious!

Hi Frank,

Forgive my ignorance but this die-stamped SALH badge that you show here, would this be considered a ABW period correct badge or a post war example?

Cheerio,

Roy

Collecting/wanted ABW insignia if anyone has some spares?

W W Stallwood SALH No 2483. Medals

I was looking at the posts for the SALH and saw the article on his medals. I thought that you might like this. It was painted by Roger Pocock, founder of The Legion of Frontiersman and ex NWMP, Waldon`s Scouts and 4th Wing National Scouts (Waldon`s), and probably painted in 1902. There is quite bit on him on family history websites,

That's an excellent portrait. Thank you for posting.

Thank You for the Grand Picture I hope that I can put it on the file with the medal...….
