QSA to 2779 Pte. A.H. Kolkenbeck-Eggebert C.M.R. 4 years 5 months ago #76733

jim51 Topic Author Offline Senior Member Posts: 355 Thank you received: 105	Picked up the medal today from a collector that I have known for many years. It has the Cape Colony, Wepener, Transvaal & Witterbergen clasps. Looking at the KSA roll it appears that he is entitled to that medal also. I don't have any other info on the recipient. Regards, Jim,

Hello Jim,

Arnold Hermann Kolkenbeck-Eggebert.

I have this copy of his page in the Defaulters Book Ref: DD 7/63 as found in the Cape Town Archives. The quality of the photo is the best I can do for you.

It confirms the award of the QSA with clasps mentioned and the KSA.

He enlisted on the 11th December 1895 aged 25 at Umtata, discharged 15th May1903 (See discharge Photo below)

Part time researcher of the Cape Police and C.P.G Regiment.
