I was recently given an old and battered KSA to 2723 SGT W CLARK 10th HUSSARS I have been told that there may be a chance that he has a connection with my family as the medal was found in a distant relations attic! I believe he was killed in action and subsequently I`m looking for verification on this. Any help would greatly be appreciated Regards Stephen Higgins

Hello Stephen, 2723 Sgt. W. Clark 10th Hussars was killed in action near Uniondale 19/8/1901 while attached to the 2nd Dragoons. He is buried at Uniondale Anglican Church and his grave is marked by a granite headstone. His name is also on the cemetery memorial. He was awarded the Queen's South Africa Medal (QSA) with clasps Relief of Kimberley, Paardeberg, Driefontein & Belfast. This must be the medal you have as his death in 1901 means that he didn't qualify for the King's South Africa Medal (KSA).
