TOPIC:

Another newbie to the collection is the QSA with single Rhodesia clasp to no. 304 Tpr. Joseph Poole Morey of the Southern Rhodesia Volunteers.

Morey and several others were awarded the single clasp Rhodesia which, according to the qualification criteria, was awarded to

"all troops under the command of Lieutenant-General Sir F. Carrington and Colonel Plumer in Rhodesia, between October 11th, 1899 and May 17th, 1900, both dates inclusive, who received no clasp for the Relief of Mafeking."

My question is - does that mean that they never left Rhodesia or that they participated in other actions in e.g. the Transvaal but obviously not the Relief of Mafeking?

A follow - up question is - how scarce are single clasp "Rhodesia's" to the SRV?
