Might there be a chance that he was with the Cape Police that were captured at Kuruman ?

Hello Guys,

He is not on the list of the 32 C.P men who helped to defend Kuruman during Nov/Dec 1899 and is not mentioned either when they surrendered to Cmdt Visser and his group of approx 400 Boers on the 1 Jan 1900.

Good story Rory.

In which LG did that citation appear? I have found two LG entries for him 31-10-1902p6908 DCM and 17-01-1902p383 MID.

The KSA was sent in 1906 to his step-father, Mr Joliffe, in Pmbg.

I assume you sourced these medals in Natal?
