I have been researching a Wepener man, John Lottering who served with Brabant's Horse, Nesbitt's Horse and Gorringe's Flying Column.

The entitlement to a KSA was 18 months of service which equates to 365 x 1.5 = 547.5 which could be rounded to 547 or 548.

The KSA for John Lottering was held over as his service only summed to 546 days. So close!

If anyone had a reasonable cause to append a KSA to his group it was surely this man. We have seen them added in much weaker cases in the past.

I think that being a "Walt" a wretched Walter Mitty is certainly not a recent phenomenon as you say.

I guess in a way I know how he feels.... When I was due to retire I was 2 days short of a 100% pension, if I had retired on the day I was supposed to I would have only got 77.5%..... So you can guess I had to work an extra year and got the 100% …..

That's a huge drop in benefits so an easy decision to make?
