Thank you Frank, that's interesting. Is there a usual reason for names being crossed out?

He is not listed in the Name Search as I have not made it to the OLI yet :(


Ha Ha, thank you David.

Brilliant news that his papers survive! I will get digging!

Yes, although his name appears on that roll, he was not entitled to the King's medal, he was only entitled to the 1901 and 1902 clasps, clearly shown in the supplementary section of the regiments QSA roll.
