Dave,

A man called Thomas Edward Davies served in the SALH gaining CC. OFS and Tr. 41470 Trooper. WO!00/275p17.

Perhaps a coincidence but the attestation is witnessed by a Captain in the SAMIF.

Dave,

Was your TES Davies the one christened on 11 May 1856 in Wellington, Shropshire?

M&E say John George Glendenning of the South African Mounted Irregular Forces, is confirmed on the medal roll.

Hello David.
I think you have the right man. Many thanks for the additional information and the possible Transvaal enigma. Very much appreciated.
I will have another delve into the archives and see if this is the same chap as per your paperwork. Below is a link to my research so far.
