A. Sherriffs (Christian name variously recorded as both Alfred and Arthur) attested for the Imperial Light Infantry on 21 November 1899, and was discharged on 20 October 1900.

Hi David,

I have another favour to ask; do you have the papers for 719 Pte. G. Jessup. Imp: Lt Infy; I have two possibilities for his medal and would like to narrow it down.

Thank you.

Regards,
Shaun

Shaun,

I will check at the weekend.

Best wishes
