Dear Bill, I do not have a medal roll for the R. F. A. However, I do have him on the casualty roll. He certainly earned at least the QSA. Whether he received it I do not know. We are speaking of a time when you could not be awarded the VICTORIA CROSS if you were killed earning it. I do not KNOW if the QSA was sent to the next of kin of a dead soldier. I have not been able to find the Warrant which authorised the QSA and gave all the regulations so that I can find out. Campaign medals were certainly sent to next of kin in WW1. 4419 GUNNER T.

Hi everyone, I have just received information that one of my husband's relatives was involved in the Boer War. Is it possible to find more information re his time in SA? He, Hugh EGAN was born in Australia in 1872, according to his enlistment papers for the Australian Infantry Forces in 1916 (Brisbane) he had been in the 1st Scottish Horse for 7 months and was Foreman Military Service on Railway Natal for 6 months. He married in New Zealand in 1905, I have been unable to find any record of him listed in Australian Boer War Servicemen. Many thanks and happy hunting Annette WATSON Lismore Australia
