M&E say 'Trooper F. M. Marshall of Bethune’s Mounted Infantry is confirmed on the roll for the first 4 clasps, although not for the Belfast clasp. The remarks section mentions ‘n/n S.A.L.H.’ presumably showing further service in the South African Light Horse.'

Congratulations to the bidder at Noonans today who won the QSA to Schuller.

Hope they post the biography here....
