Hi,
Oh I do hope you still offer this service!
I am looking for details for William Barras Baker. I believe he received the following: He served with the BSAP in the Cape Police and was awarded the following medals: 1877-78 - "Gaika -Gcaleka" and The BSA Company medal for Matabeleland 1893. The reason for the Matabeleland medal remains a mystery. I would dearly love to know if he served in the Military and if so in which regiment? Any information you have which may lead to finding out where and when he was born and who his parents were, would be immensely helpful. In fact anything at all would be wonderful!
Looking forward to hearing from you. Many thanks in advance
