He had gone to south africa to teach Brickmaking and i beleive he joined the Duke of cumberlands light horse?? middlesex rifles?? he remained in South Africa after the war returning to England in 1914

Good evening and welcome,
If he served in the British Army during the war, he would normally be entitled to the medal/medals, I count only six W Emmett's in WO100, one serving with the 3rd Middlesex Regt, could be him I suppose, anything else you can tell us?
Regards Frank

Patemmett,

Welcome to the forum. I hope we can help you in your research.

Like Frank I am struggling with the Duke of Cumberland's LH. There wasn't a unit of this name during the Boer War. Can you tell me where this information came from please?

Frank - could this be an alternative name for one of the IY companies?

Regards
David

my uncle had told me that thought my grandad had been in the duke of Edinboroughs light horse but i am not sure about this and no way of verifying it as my uncle has passed away
