Hello David,
If you went back to Salford and Swinton in 1902, they were both rather differant than today and times were very hard indeed for so many, I dare say that life in South Africa would have appealed to some of these men.

Good Morning Frank & David .....

"""" I take it that his pair are not actually named "Tyldesllly" I think it is a super pair of medals and you are quite lucky to find them, a local lad for Manchester too! """""

Correction has been made......

Thanks for the additional information....

Mike,

You're not alone. His name is spelled Tydlesbury on the KSA roll!

Mike,

Did you know he was a casualty when you bought the medals?
