Hi Peter - I have the Imperial Yeomanry medal roll which shows 29716 Pte. Thomas Scotland, 100th (Northumberland) Company Imperial Yeomanry, entitled to the Queen's South Africa Medal with clasps Cape Colony, Orange Free State, Transvaal, South Africa 1901 & South Africa 1902. The remarks column notes that he was severely wounded at Waterkloof 4/10/1901 and that he qualified for the last two clasps with the I.Y. Staff. His I.Y. attestation and service papers survive in series WO 128 at the National Archive in Kew. These typically consist of 4 pages. Being in Australia you would need to use the services of a researcher a researcher to dig out copies.

In around 1900 ?: - He joined the 100th Company of Imperial Yeomanry and served for 18 months in South Africa (Boer War). I am obviously looking for further information on his service. He did survive and joined up for WW1 service in the 10th Australian Light Horse in Egypt. He also just survived this episode. This period provides no connection to his British service however. Where do I go from here? regards Peter Scotland --------------------------------- How much free photo storage do you get? Store your holiday snaps for FREE with Yahoo! Photos. Get Yahoo! Photos
