The British South Africa Company Medal Roll - Free lookups offered

[neil1821]

To the last few posters on this thread:

To be honest I'd advise you to start your own threads on the forum rather than posting under this one.

- firstly more people will see your query
- secondly, the British South Africa Company Medal was for specific minor campaigns in Mashonaland, Rhodesia and Matabeleland between 1890 and 1897. It doesn't apply to the Boer War or Zulu War.

Hello, I have my great-grandfather's British South Africa Medal, and wondered if there is any more information about him on the roll.  It is the Rhodesia 1896 one - with no clasp, just the ribbon - and the engraving on the edge is Trooper J A E Roberts S F F.  I presume this means Salisbury Field Force, but can anyone tell me what they did?  I have only found information on the Bulawayo Field Force, so I presume this means he was a farmer or settler and not part of the police force.  I have records of him settling in Pietermaritzburg both before and after this time, so I'm not quite sure how he came to be in Rhodesia.  Was there some kind of army conscription, or would this have been volunteer settlers?  With no clasp attached, I also assume he was only active in the one campaign.  If anyone has any information, I would be very grateful.  Thanks.

Hello,
          I was wondering if you could look up
 "Abraham  Suggitt"   please
 he joined the Army while in Hanwell in London,  so am guessing  he went as quite a young man, and chose to stay over there,     many thanks

Well i hope this is still going, i have a BSAC rhodesia 1896 to a
trooper F A McCleland Belingwe colume, but as of yet
have no info on him. Just like to know who he was and
what he did, just seems wrong not knowing any thing
about him. Any info will be great, thx.

I would be most grateful for a lookup for my grandfather:-
Henry John Roberts.
He would have been very young and may have fibbed about his age.
Possibly the Middlesex or London regiments.
There was a family photo of him in uniform.
He was back in England 1901 census and no longer a soldier.
Died 1910 aged 25yrs T.B.
Many thanks,
Vicki
