South Australian - 3 Bushmen Contingent records
« on: Tuesday 03 November 09 07:28 UTC (UK) »
Hi everyone i am looking for a ggrand father boer service medals. He inlisted into the army  feb 1900 left for South Africa in march.  Taken prisoner 18/8/1900.
name         Edgar Clarence SPENDER
unit            3 bushmen contingent
rank            trooper
service #     16
I am after what medals he would have been awarded the originals have been lost, a family member said they remember 4.
I have rang canberra   (awm) they advised me that all records were sent to the relevent states to be stored because of being pre federation  State records are ment to have them but they say they have no records of them. National archives cant help me  either . I have rang head office of the RSL and they said they would have no idea. I have  a list of the unit and names of the fellow  men in his unit and am resorting to ringing them to find out which medals they received , but could not bee 100% correct
Any help  would be very appreciated
regards debra
