The British South Africa Medal Roll is a record of all men who fought in the early Rhodesian Campaigns of 1830, 1893, 1896 and 1897.
If you believe any of your ancentors were there, send me a note of the surname and initials, regimental number and name of regiment I'll see what we can find.

If you don't have the military information, I'll see what can be done with only the surname and initials.

Hi,
I am looking for information about my grandfather, Alan Barling LUSH, who I believe was with the British South Africa Police Force in the First Matabele Uprising in 1893. Would be most grateful if anyone could supply details of his service, medals, etc. Many thanks, Alan Lush.
