Thanks David, i will have a look through a few things i have when i get home tomorrow. I do have a group to a CP chap that has his KSA named to the FID.

Hello David,

It appears that Capt Arthur Bates resigned from the CP on 07/02/1901 and joined Warrens Mounted Infantry on the same day and served with them until 01/08/1901.

So no KSA entitlement.

Regards
