Armed Forces / Re: The British South Africa Company Medal Roll - Free lookups offered
« on: Saturday 14 December 13 03:48 GMT (UK)  »
Hi,
Iam trying find info on my Grandfather (Mothers Father) who participated in the Matabele Rebellion in Rhodesia 1896.

His name was - Phillip Lewellan Jenkins and I believe he was in E Troop Bulawayo Volunteer Rifles..

I have his BSA ribbon but unfortunately the medal was sold during the 1930s Depression.

I would appreciate any info and is it possible to get a scan of a page that he may be listed on..

Thanks

Carl Smith

Hi, My Grandfather (Mothers father) was born in Middlesex UK around 1870 and went to Africa in the 1880s and was with the British South Africa Company. He married a Dutch Boer (my Grandmother) and came to Australia in 1917.  He was involved in the Matabele Rebellion which I beleive was in 1893 or 1896? and he was also in Rhodesia, Bulawayo and we think Mashonoland?
My Grandfathers name is:- Phillip Lewellan Jenkins and he was awarded the BSAC Medal and we believe, the Boer War Medal set and may have been at the Defence of Kimberley.  All we have now is some photos and a Matabele ribbon bar as the medals were sold during the Depression years here in Australia. Not much to go on but could you look up the BSAC rolls to find any info on him!

Thank You

Carl Smith
