I really do not have that much information to go on, so I am not expecting anyone to help me find my grandfather, just maybe give me a little idea on how I can go about finding the information necessary that might lead me in the right direction. My grandfather was Samuel Jacob Rosen. According to "family lore" he served as a bicycle or motorcycle messenger for the British in the Boer War in South Africa. Evidently there was once a photo of him on his bike during war time, but that is long since gone I am afraid. I have no idea of the regiment or unit. I do know that he was a surviver of the war. He was born circa 1886 supposedly in Russia and sent to live in England at a very young age (although some say he claims he was born in England, while others claim he was born in Russia). His mother was Mary Rosen and he had 4 siblings, Jennie Rosen, Anna Rosen, Philip Rosen and David Rosen. No father that I am aware of. Lore is that he lived close to London, but again I have no idea WHERE Is it possible for me to actually find any information on my grandfather in reference to the war or am I just traveling down one of those long dirt roads that leads to nowhere (smile)? I have no idea if he received any metals, I do know he arrived in the United States somewhere around 1906. Thank you for any help you might be able to offer Helene Rose-Carson hcarson@frontiernet.net

I am trying to find information regarding a James Davidson McLean(Maclean) born 1869in Deskford, Banff. I believe he served in the Boer War as a Quarter Master Sgt. with the soldiers of Banffshire. The Royal Garrison Artillery, Western Division #15 Company. Can anyone give any further information? Ian in Canada --------------------------------- Discover Yahoo!

Hi Simon - 'The Queens' were specifically the Royal West Surreys. Similarly 'The King's' were specifically the Liverpool Regiment despite several other regiments having King's in their title. (The Queen's later became the official title of the RWS and the King's became the official title of the subsequently amalgated Liverpool and Manchester Regiments). If you can send me an attachment with a scan of the naming on the medal I should be able to tell you if it is officially named or renamed. The only way to be entirely sure of his entitlement is to have someone check his name and number on the Queen's South Africa Medal roll of the West Surreys in series WO 100 at the National Archives in Kew.

Mark, Thanks for your reply, but your assumption is not correct.

For the QSA & KSA medals & clasps (bars) plus conditions of award, see the Canadian Veterans' website under War Medals 1866-1918: http://www.vac-acc.gc.ca/remembers/sub.cfm?source=collections/cmdp/mainmenu The QSA went to any soldier who served in South Africa but the KSA required the soldier to be serving in South Africa on or after 1 January 1902 and to have completed 18 months total service in South Africa before 1 June 1902. Some missed out by a few days, though I believe that the service did not have to be continuous (and many soldiers returned home then joined up again). But to have 18 months service, even continuous service would have to be from December 1900, in Queen Victoria's reign (she died on 22 January 1901). And the 18 months excluded time at sea. Some suggestion that the new King Edward VII wanted his portrait on a medal. The New Zealand 10th Contingent got the QSA plus 02 clasp (South Africa 1902) even though they only disembarked at Durban on 17 or 26 May 1902, so did no fighting! Hostilities ceased on 31 May after the Vereeniging conference. Soldiers in the New Zealand 2nd & 3rd Contingents got their QSA medal without their name etc on the rim when they left South Africa (because of an administrative problem) so often had the engraving done privately. And some early Canadian QSA medals had 1899-1900 on them - because the war was initially thought to be over after taking Pretoria (5th June).

Hi Simon, On the QMedal is not his name, regiment & number engraved on the rim? My Grandfathers certainly has name rank, number ,regiment . You would need to know the battalion of the regiment, to work out where he was I think. My grandfather served in the Mounted Infantry, which was not in the same 'battles' as the rest of his regiment.

Hello again everyone. I recently posted a plea for help on William Henry Cousins, who I assumed (quite wrongly) was RA. This was because his marriage cert showed him as a soldier with "Guildford Battery Dover". Firstly, many thanks to those who took the trouble to respond. I have had a stroke of luck, because whilst poking about in a box of oddments left by my mother when she died some while ago, I came across two sets of medals. One belonged to William Cousins. The medals are the QSA with clasps for South Africa 1901 and 1902, Transvaal, Orange Free State and Cape Colony. The medal is for 3406 Sgt W Cousins 3 Dragoon Guards. The other medal is the LS&GC for 3406 SQMS W Cousins 3 DG. Could anyone tell me how I could find his service history, and if there is a 3DG association or the like that I could write or email. Thanks in anticipation. Keith Whitaker

Could someone please look up the name of DANIEL CLARENCE MCMILLAN, he served in the Royal Canadian Regiment, joining up in 1899 in Canada. Thank you very much, Jenny
