Hello all. I have two campaign medals as shown. They were awarded to my maternal Grandfather 1901 - 1902 for his service in the RAMC during the Boar war. I never met him and a part from these know nothing about him. I have looked for his name here but have had no success. the name and number on the medals are H. Rush. No 7738.

Hello Stokes,

Attached are the medal rolls for the award of his QSA and KSA medals.

He served with No 7 General Hospital in Estcourt (Natal) and later with No7 General Hospital in Pretoria (Transvaal) until the end of the war. I cannot find a set of Attestation papers for him.

Stokes,

I have removed the duplicate image in your post.

I also checked for papers and had the same result as Adrian.

This map shows the location os Estcourt. I will have a look for pictures of the hospital there. www.angloboerwar.com/forum/6-places/267-re-estcourt?start=0#267

Hello Stokes
Is it possible you can supply your Grandfather's full name and where he was born? Any extra information may help in finding out about your relative.
You only live once, but if you do it right, once is enough.
Best regards,
Dave
