Sorry to be a pain, Frank.

I have sent you another private message regarding his service record.

Thanks again.

Hello,
Simply because those were the clasps he earned whilst serving with his battalion, service on Ceylon was not campaign service, but, merely garrison duty.

Hi GeneMaiden,

If you post some details of your man it is possible other members may be able to add to your research.

Regards
Paul

Thank you once again for all your helpful information, Frank.

Paul is quite right, this is a public forum and a thread like this will be very difficult for people to follow, because they are not in possession of the actual subject being discussed!

Hi, I understand what you mean regarding this being a public forum and not being able to follow a thread with all the facts and I don't mind posting general details on a public forum but I don't wish to post specific names on any public forum. Most public forums have a private message facility for this reason which is why I used that facility also. I will enjoy using the forum in the future to find out generally about the Boer War and I am thankful for the help that I have received on the forum.
