TOPIC:

I'm trying to ascertain the clasps this man has/is entitled to. He has the QSA & KSA ,the latter with 1091 & 1902 clasps.

For his QSA, I have it with 6 clasps: Belfast, Diamond Hill, Johannesburg, Diamond Hill, Paardeberg & Relief of Kimberley.

However I can definitely see that he is also entitled to the Cape Colony, Orange Free State & Transvaal clasps.

Is this possible/probable?

Would like to get some confirmation before I go thinking that he has 9 clasps!

Regards, Ian

Good Morning Ian.....

This is what I have from the Cavalry List.....

Starkey, F.B., 3498, Lance Corporal, 12th Lancers, Belfast, Cape Colony, OFS.
Discharged

If he is the same man.....

Mike

Frank Burdett Starkey, a 19 year old chemist from York and a member of the 1st Volunteer Battalion, the West Yorks, joined the 12th Lancers on the 30th of April 1892.
A brief look at WO97 confirms his QSA and three clasps as Mike points out and also his KSA.

Thanks Mike - its the same guy but I've definitely got him down for 4 plus the KSA. Looks like I may have been duped. Still, if that's the case I have some spare clasps!
