Armed Forces / Re: The British South Africa Company Medal Roll - Free lookups offered
« on: Monday 16 November 09 02:18 GMT (UK) »
Can you please look up any details about my great uncle on the Medal roll?- Henry Lawrence Bernstein. He may well be listed as "Harry" rather than "Henry", because he is listed on the list of witnesses for the Jameson trial as "Harry L. Bernstein" (born Melbourne 1872) and also on the website - http://www.dnw.co.uk/medals/auctionarchive/searchcataloguearchive/itemdetail.lasso?itemid=68820 - his 2 medals (Maxim Company and British South Africa Company) sold at auction last June (09) for 3,500 pounds. We (the family) lost contact with him, and I want to find out what subsequently happened (have info for 1936) and when/where in UK he died. Made difficult by fact he assumed new name of "Henry Lawrence" around WW1 and then took on various names.aliases as well.
But if you have any info you can glean from the BSACo. Medal roll, that would be a great help.
Thanks and regards
Peter Benson
PS - Since I last posted this enquiry to you, some further info has been revealed on the above-mentioned auction webpage, but if you have any further info that would be helpful.
