I have the Boer medal of my Wife's Grandfather, GEORGE OLIVE with the details on the rim of:
No: 6350 Rank Sgt Regiment: Royal Lancashire Clasps: South Africa 1901, Orange Free State, Cape Colony.
I am unable to find a reference to him using Find My Past.
Any suggestions please.

Dear Mike, I've struggled a while and here you are in no time at all finding my answer. I am most appreciative. Dorothy (Wife) will be pleased. She was 19 years old when G/father died and we had just met. She is much older now! Thank you so much. John
