The phrase "see Medal Roll 28 RD" is written next to the Queen's South Africa Medal Roll entry of my great great grandfather 624 PTE George Poole Gloucestershire Regiment. Does anyone know which Roll it is referring to?
I had some helpful suggestions when I asked this the other week but since the forum has returned my original query has disappeared.
I doubt it means Remount Depot as George was hit in the knee with a piece of shrapnel at Klip Drift on the 16th February 1900. The casualty lists give the nature of the wound as severe.
I thought it might be a roll of those ' Recently Discharged', but I have not been able to find anything in the TNA catalogue, other than the Gloucestershire regiment roll itself. There are many individuals with this annotation.
Finally, "Regimental Depot", again nothing concrete but I might not be seeing the wood for the trees.
I'm hoping one day to track down his medals (anyone?) but I'm not holding my breath!
Thank you in advance.
