I have managed to get his service papers it shows he was in the 4th dragoons and served in India from September 1894 until February 1998 can i ask what if any were campaign's this Regiment was in volved in

Steven,

With the 4th Dragoon Guards he earned the Indian General Service Medal with clasp Punjab Frontier 1897-98.

Interestingly, he is listed on the Boer War medal roll (WO100/299p205) as serving, from the 2nd Dragoon Guards, on the staff of the foreign military attaches. He has Johannesburg ticked for this service.

Hi Dave
Thats great and interesting the mention of the indian service medal isnt on his papers.
I guess he got the Johannesburg clasp for being on the office of the attache.
